By Nike Ogunbodede Associate News Editor Because of a new Illinois law, sex offenders that are working or enrolled on a college campus now have to register with the university’s police depart- ment. House Bill 295, which took effect on Jan. 1, is an amendment to the prior enacted Sex Offender Registration Act that only had the offender register with their local law enforcement in Illinois. It would later be up to the law enforcement to provide the university with the gathered informa- tion. e offender is to pay a $100 initial registration fee, which can be waived by the police department, and then $100 annually for a required renewal fee. Adam Due, chief of the University Police De- partment, said the offenders that need to register with the department have already been notified. “The offenders know when they are expected to register and what changes in residence, employ- ment, or attendance at college trigger the need to update their registrations,” Due said in an email. No one is currently registered with the UPD. “We had one that was expected to come in (be- cause of ) the registration change but their required registration period expired so they no longer have to register,” Due said. By Kathryn Richter City Editor More than a dozen students crowded on the couches sur- rounding the television in An- drews Hall on ursday to cheer on Anne Rozek as she competed on ‘Jeopardy!’. When Rozek, junior geography major, appeared on the screen, the viewers erupted into cheers. e basement of Andrews Hall was decorated in blue and white streamers, with balloons and pic- tures of Rozek on the set of ‘Jeop- ardy!’. “It was awesome that everyone got so excited and happy when I got a question right,” Rozek said. Her friends watched the tap- ing of ‘Jeopardy!’ and were im- pressed with her performance on the show. Megan McQueen, a sopho- more sociology major and friend of Rozek’s, was one of the people who threw the party for Rozek’s appearance on ‘Jeopardy!’. “Anne’s a really good friend of mine and we wanted to throw a party for her because it’s exciting,” McQueen said. “She did a great job.” The ‘Jeopardy!’ questions ranged from pop culture related subjects like the alternative band My Chemical Romance, Shake Weights and “jeggings,” to more academic-based questions like 19th century writers and post-im- pressionism. Rozek ended the show in third place with a total of $11,500. Dan Nadler, the vice presi- dent for student affairs, joined the viewing party for Rozek because he said he wanted to show his support and he was curious about how she fared on the show. “She did an incredible job,” Nadler said. “It shows at East- ern Illinois University, students can compete with anyone in the country.” Rozek faced two other oppo- nents, one from George Washing- ton University, located in Wash- ington, D.C. and one from Uni- versity of Michigan. Rozek said the contestants would wait together in the green room and be picked in teams of three to compete in the quarter- finals, with all five games of the quarterfinals being taped that day. Rozek said she really enjoyed the time she spent with oth- er contestants in the green room while the show was filming. “They are all super awesome and nice,” Rozek said.

Miles said this year’s game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham- pions. Before coming to Eastern, Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri- or to the game. He said depending on who hosts the game, each year would be different. “We would switch things up every year,” Miles said. Miles said he and his family would cook things like nachos, salads, chick- en and Chinese food. Kevin Pranevicius, a senior history major, said he gets together with his friends, and to him, the Super Bowl is a major deal. He said he plans on watching the pre-game coverage. He added that the commercials every year are one of the factors that kept him watching the game. “It’s always worth it,” Pranevicius said. Pranevicius said the right menu is crucial on Super Bowl Sunday. Overall, Pranevicius said the Super Bowl is always important to him ev- ery year. “I make a big event out of it,” Pran- evicius said. “It’s a holiday and a big part of our lives.” Jose Gonzalez can be reached at 581-2812 or [email protected].

DANNY DAMIANI | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSMembers of Axiom Brass Colin Oldberg (left) Matthew Oliphant (middle) and Kevin Harrison (right) perform Mini Overture by Witold Luto-stawski during thier show New Standards in the Doudna Fine Arts Centers Recital Hall Thursday

By Samantha McDaniel Activities Editor

A musical quintet spread out to give the impression of surround sound during its concert Thursday

The Axiom Brass Quintet spread out in the Recital Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center Thurs-day during their piece ldquoCanzona per sonare n3rdquo by Giovanni Ga-brieli

Kayleigh Nuernberger a sopho-more music major said she found the surround sound effect interest-ing

ldquoThat was pretty cool because not a lot of people do stuff like thatrdquo Nuernberger said ldquoUsually during a performance they stay on the stage and donrsquot go out and stuff like thatrdquo

Axiom Brass is made up of members Dorival Puccini trumpet Colin Oldberg trumpet Matt Oli-phant horn Brett Johnson trom-bone and Kevin Harrison tuba

Harrison said they hope the au-dience liked their performance

ldquoWe are just looking forward to sharing music we are very pas-sionate about what we dordquo Harri-son said

Harrison said Axiom Brass likes performing in front of many differ-

ent peopleldquoWe present concerts to all kinds

of audiences all ages all around the country and the worldrdquo Har-rison said ldquoEvery venue we go to is different the attitude of the crowd is different and the response is dif-ferent and we just love presenting our concerts and sharing our mu-sicrdquo

During the concert Axiom Brass also played compositions such as ldquoMini Overturerdquo by Witold Lu-tostawski ldquoContrapunctus VIIrdquo by JS Bach ldquoBrass Quintet No 3 Op 7rdquo by Victor Ewald and ldquoThree Tangosrdquo by Astor Piazzolla

Maura Shepherd a sophomore music major said she liked the per-formance

ldquoI loved the ldquoThree Tangosrdquo Shepherd said ldquoIt was my favor-ite piecerdquo

Harrison said Axiom Brass gave two classes while at Eastern on Thursday

Harrison said the quintet gave a music business class and a class on chamber music

Harrison said Axiom Brass tries to teach students about things out-side of playing instruments and teaching others to play an instru-ment

ldquoMost music programs donrsquot in-

clude any sort of music business classrdquo Harrison said ldquoWe donrsquot al-ways learn how to sell ourselves or-ganize from a business stand point our careers

He said they were never taught anything about music business

ldquoMany of us have learned on the road and on the fly how to do all these business thingsrdquo Harrison said ldquoWe are just sharing our expe-riences with students helping them get a start on their own careersrdquo

He said they also showed stu-dents new techniques

ldquoWe work with university stu-dents who are in brass quintetsrdquo Harrison said ldquoWe are performing for them and giving them tips on how to perform a little better with their instruments and to play better as an ensemble and how to create great music using some of the tech-niques we use on a regular basesrdquo

Ashley Villalobos a senior mu-sic major said she was in a quin-tet that attended the second mas-ter class

ldquoI thoroughly enjoyed itrdquo Vil-lalobos said ldquoThey had a lot of ed-ucational tips on performing wellrdquo

Harrison said he hopes students learned something from the class-es

ldquoWith any of our classes we

hope students have a better under-standing and appreciation for the music they do every dayrdquo Harri-son said

Harrison said they do not per-form just to perform they are showing their creativity

ldquoWersquore in music because we love music we are passionate about it and we always want to get better at it whether it is through teaching or performingrdquo Harrison said ldquoWersquore creatingrdquo

Nuernberger said she likes hav-ing brass quintets come to perform at Eastern

ldquoLast year we had a brass quin-tet come here and itrsquos real nice to have someone come here to sup-port music and schools the way they dordquo Nuernberger said

Harrison said performing is something that Axiom Brass en-joys

ldquoItrsquos wonderful sharing our mu-sic in new venues and experienc-ing the unique sounds and getting different responsesrdquo Harrison said ldquoWe have music that is very diverse and connects with a lot of different people in many different waysrdquo

Music surrounds audience at Axiom Brass concert

By Samantha Bilharz Managing Editor

The Residence Hall Association kicked off its meeting with a guest speaker who had a specific cause and goal in mind

On Thursday Taylor Bainter a ju-nior fine arts major stood up in front of RHA members to ask students to spon-sor her cause

ldquoIn the past couple of years my fam-ily has had a couple brushes with can-cer My grandmother was just diag-nosed this past December with breast cancer and my aunt has been fight-ing colon cancer for the past two years thankfully they are both OKrdquo Bainter said

Because of this experience Baint-er wanted to help other people who are going through the same situation as her

ldquoThis made me think of what I can do to help when it comes to those fam-ilies who havenrsquot been so lucky when it comes to fighting cancerrdquo Bainter said

Bainter signed up to be a shavee for the St Baldrickrsquos Foundation A sha-vee is someone that shaves their head in honor of people who have cancer

St Baldrickrsquos Foundation is a non-profit foundation that is trying to find a cure for children who have cancer

Bainter asked students at the RHA meeting for money to be a shavee when the foundation comes to her hometown of Bolingbrook on March 24

ldquoI can honor kids that live around my area and Irsquom honoring six kids who are currently fighting cancer and a few of them are in remission So what Irsquom asking you today is if any of you can sponsor me in any way any amount helpsrdquo Bainter said

She has currently raised $16480 on her own

Other topics discussed were the Dis-

ney theme for ldquoKids and Friends Week-endrdquo Each residence hall will be deco-rated to go along with this theme ldquoKids and Friends Weekendrdquo will take place on Feb 24 and Feb 25

ROC Fest theme ideas were also dis-cussed but will be discussed more in de-

tail at the next RHA meeting Jake Neese the RHA president de-

scribed the meeting as ldquoshort and sweetrdquo

APPORTIONMENT BOARD

By Rachel Rodgers Administration Editor

The Apportionment Board unan-imously approved a funding freeze Thursday for a combined amount of $33273 because of over-allocation and low enrollment

Mary Lane the student vice presi-dent for business affairs and a junior family and consumer sciences major said if they had not frozen the funds they would have been in trouble

ldquoTechnically the money we froze doesnrsquot existrdquo Lane said ldquoThere was over-allocation from last year because we did not anticipate the drop in en-rollment so we had the boards with-hold 6 percent of their budgetsrdquo

The University Board the Student Recreation Center and the Student Senate receive funds from student fees and each withheld about 6 percent of its budgets last semester

Even though the funds were with-held they had to be frozen to guaran-tee that they would not be spent Lane said

The Apportionment Board unani-mously approved the freezes separately

The Student Recreation Center cut $15000 from its budget and the Uni-versity Board also cut $15000 from its budget

The student recreation center made the cuts from supplies and equipment The University Board made cuts from salaries professional services travel-ing expenses printing and contractual services and commodities which con-

sists of give-a-ways decorations and food supplies for events

The Student Senate cut $3273 from executive tuition waivers mar-keting and student relation forums

The decision to freeze funds will be presented to the Student Senate on Wednesday and then it will go to Daniel Nadler the vice president for student affairs for approval

The next Apportionment Board meeting will be every Thursday begin-ning March 1 to draft the new budget for next year Lane said

An integral part of the budget mak-ing process will be to estimate how many students will be on campus in the fall Lane said

ldquoThe administrators in Old Main will look at how many students were on campus this year and last year along with how many students are looking to go to collegerdquo Lane said ldquoWhen you get down to it it is all a guessing gamerdquo

Lane said she expects additional cuts to next yearrsquos budget

ldquoWe didnrsquot need to make any cuts for the past two years but everything changes once you look at enrollment and the economyrdquo Lane said ldquoHowev-er I am confident that the boards will work with the budgets they have and still provide campus servicesrdquo

Megan McQueen a sophomore so-ciology major joined the Apportion-ment Board on Thursday

ldquoI think it is important to be aware about what is going on on-campus and to know what is happening with the money that students pay to come hererdquo McQueen said

SUPER BOWL

By Kathryn Richter City Editor

Eastern students comment on their plans for the face off between the New York Giants and the New Eng-land Patriots this Sunday

Rebecca Rosignolo a freshman communication studies major said as a child her family would get together for the Super Bowl

ldquoWe used to always have pizza and watch TVrdquo Rosignolo said

Rosignolo said it became hard-er to be with her family on Super Bowl Sunday with complications with

school and workLike Rosignolo Makenzie Mazi-

brook a freshman elementary educa-tion major said her family also throws a Super Bowl celebration party

Mazibrook said she feels like her mom because she will be cooking food for friends for the game

Mazibrook said she watches the game for the football but she has no team that she will be rooting for this year

Katie Eckberg a special education major said her family tradition also involves hosting a Super Bowl party

ldquoOur whole family comes over and

itrsquos a big get togetherrdquo Eckberg said ldquoTaco dip is always involvedrdquo

Eckberg said she will be watching the game with friends this year and rooting for the New York Giants even though she is a Chicago Bears fan

Eckberg said she will be rooting for the New York Giants because she does not want the New England Patriots to win

Jennifer Vogt a sophomore special education major will also be watching the game with friends this year

Vogt said she had just recent-ly started getting into football at the start of this season seeing as how her

older siblings are fanatic football play-ers

Vogt said she picked the New York Giants to root for at the beginning of the season because she was a fan of the New York Giantrsquos quarterback Eli Manning

Vogt said she had always been to a party on Super Bowl Sunday and will be watching the game this year with friends

Maurice Green a sophomore ac-counting major will also be going to a friendrsquos Super Bowl party but he will be traveling to his hometown of Downers Grove

Green like Eckberg said the game only has significance to him if the Chicago Bears are playing

While many students had Su-per Bowl traditions of family parties Ethan States a senior mathematics major said Super Bowl Sunday was like every other Sunday at his house

States said however he might watch the game at a small Super Bowl party

ldquoOtherwise Irsquod probably be doing homeworkrdquo States said

One argument that is sure to become a com-mon theme of the 2012 presidential election will be over President Obamarsquos influence on our recovery from the economic recession The current popular form that conservatives like to use is that Obama continues to pass off blame for the economy onto his predecessor President Bush and seemingly take no responsibility for the fact that we still have not begun to recover our pre-recession economic status

This argument has been both lampooned and bashed for its ostensible willful igno-rance of anything President Bush may have done wrong One recent example was a picture a Facebook friend of mine shared recently out of amusement that said blaming Obama over Bush for the economy was equivalent to ldquotrash-ing your apartment and then yelling at your roommate when he comes in and tries to clean the messrdquo

Joke taken but I think what has been lost in the whirl of our short-term-memory political discourse is the long-term effects presidential policy have beyond their relatively short four- to eight-year terms

I am willing to admit that Bush made a huge mistake by driving up federal spending and not doing much to stem the rise of the national debt While some of the specifics of Bushrsquos role in creating the recession are debatable it is gen-erally easy to tell that a focus on national de-fensemdashour military operations in Iraq and Af-ghanistanmdashtook time (and money) away from

other important domestic fiscal issuesThese policy decisions played their respec-

tive roles in the economic situation that played out very late in Bushrsquos second term leaving the longer lasting effects to become obvious after Obama had taken office The question then be-comes what has President Obama done in re-lation to federal policy to help the economy get turned around

Enter the bailouts stimulus packages health care reform banking reform and arguments for increasing taxes on the rich and companies that outsource jobs Oh yeah and increased government spending and quite a bit of it in-volving the big-name efforts previously men-tioned

About a year ago an article in The Week-ly Standard by Jeffrey H Anderson detailed Obamarsquos record in regards to the federal budget and deficit After differentiating between what could be credited as money Bush spent versus what Obama spent Anderson calculated that Obama was responsible for $44 trillion in ac-

tual or projected deficit spending after three years in office

Citing the White House Office of Manage-ment and Budget Obamarsquos deficit spending is 37 percent higher than President Bushrsquos record of $32 trillion in deficit spending over eight years in office leaving Obamarsquos average annu-al deficit spending with a 97 percent share of our gross domestic product To put this in per-spective this is higher than the federal deficitrsquos share of our economic output during World War II or the respective terms of President Rea-gan George HW Bush or George W Bush

So what do all these numbers mean in re-gards to long-term economic effects Well for one our national debt is getting massively out of hand even more so than it has in the past creating a situation that affects this current generation and those that follow

Moreover a federal deficit prevents us from even paying the off the interest on our national debt perpetuating the issue of how to balance the budget thereby raising the specter of taxes and spending cuts no one wants to make

Speaking as lucidly as possible Obamarsquos long-term effect on the economy will probably be more profound than any of his predecessors and more damaging to all of us in the long run

To professorxeiueduFrom luvdaladyzhotmailcomSubject Whats the dealHey I need the hw for wednesday im in your eng-

lish class but I missed it cuz I had a crazy weekend lol jk ) did you guys do anything Are there notes I can get them I canrsquot fail this class My bad Later DJ

Pity the poor professors They get a lot of these emails Email is here to stay and for the most part that is a good thing But with these new pow-ers come new responsibilities We talked to some professors and read their blog posts on the topic One of the best of those is from English professor Michael Leddy who wrote about this on his blog mleddyblogspotcom

Bad student emails tend to fail in at least one of three capacities information literacy and tone

Information This is probably the most com-mon flaw in student emails The student wants information but doesnrsquot provide any Professors have lots of students in lots of classes Donrsquot expect them to remember your nickname or what class you are in It might be your only English class but as Leddy points out an English professor teach-es nothing but English classes Put your name and course number in the email preferably in the sub-ject line

Use your university email not your person-al account It is more professional and will get through spam filters Know what you are asking for and be clear and concise Donrsquot ask for notes if you missed class get them from a classmate You should check the syllabus to get an idea of what you missed but therersquos nothing wrong with asking if anything else was covered or assigned

Literacy Itrsquos one thing to show the world you canrsquot bother to correctly capitalize punctuate or spell over Facebook Itrsquos another thing to show your professor you lack basic writing skills Donrsquot abbreviate Use spell-check and proofread your email before pressing ldquosendrdquo We suggest reading the email aloud

Tone Some of this is common sense Donrsquot be rude crude or presumptuous Politely ask for what you want donrsquot demand it Donrsquot ask if you missed anything ask what you missed Your teach-er knows you want a good grade mentioning it undermines the purpose of the class (ie to learn stuff) Be professional Ditch the ldquololsrdquo and emoti-consmdashtextese isnrsquot considered a formal language in the academic world

Greetings and salutations are a bit trickier We think ldquoHeyrdquo is rude and ldquoDearrdquo is weird There is debate over the preferable honorific Mr Mrs and Ms should be avoided Dr isnrsquot perfectmdashsome like it some donrsquot some donrsquot have a doctorate That said some professors are horrified if you donrsquot acknowledge their doctorate immediately The saf-est bet is ldquoHelloHi professor Xrdquo

Likewise salutations should be considerate ldquoSincerelyrdquo ldquoBest wishesrdquo and ldquoWarmest regardsrdquo are all a bit too much We think ldquoThanksThank yourdquo is almost always appropriate Whatever you choose put your full name on the bottom includ-ing your course number if you didnrsquot mention it earlier

Email can be a blessing for students and pro-fessors But some things should be talked about in person so donrsquot hesitate to visit your professor dur-ing office hours Professors arenrsquot off the hook though Wersquoll address their mistakes on Monday

Charleston staples falling victim to bad economyIn nearly three years as an Eastern student I

have seen Charlestonrsquos staple restaurants simply vanish into thin air I simplified this into a trend of restaurants and bars that have opened and closed at the snap of someonersquos fingers

I think the economy is partly responsible for lowering demand for such places and because of students not really being interested in new places popping up out of nowhere

It is a given trend of popular thought that college students are poor and go out to eat less than they normally would This may be so I have observed students sticking to either the University Union or the dining centers for their meals in order to save money

From a self-observation standpoint I saw myself going out to eat more but now I am get-ting used to the dining halls again

Now Irsquom not against a town opening up a new restaurant to distinguish itself from other surrounding towns but from what I have seen unless yoursquore a chain or a town staple a restau-rant or bar has little chance to survive and here is why I think so

Town staples feel familiar to peopleWhen I first came to Eastern I had minimal

knowledge of where to go out to eat at least on the weekends As I became familiar with the Charleston setting I picked up knowledge of where to go

In the nearly three years I have been a student

here I have seen places like Boxa disappear into thin air and I wondered two things First why did I never eat there when it was in town espe-cially hearing how good it was Second why did it close despite it being a good restaurant

Hearing these stories from my cousin a for-mer Eastern student I would think a place like Boxa would still be around today especial-ly with it becoming a part of the townrsquos person-ality

Another placemdashalthough I thought was just a chain restaurant at first it actually started in Charlestonmdashis Jimmy Johnrsquos

Since 1983 Jimmy Johnrsquos has proudly served the Eastern community its finest sandwich-es and has grown from a simple sandwich shop into a chain conglomerate while still holding on to its university roots (which is why I do not consider Jimmy Johnrsquos to be a chain conglomer-ate though technically it is)

I wonder at times why some places like

Boxa are considered semi-staples and yet still get shut down To me it does not seem fair es-pecially because I never gave myself the chance to eat there

Could it be that the downed economy is forc-ing the rent on the buildings to go up thus forcing restaurant and bar owners to mass-pro-duce to pay such high rents among other fees

Is it the simple yet opinionated reality that new restaurants going up against town staples have little or no chance of survival especial-ly when students may not always have the mon-ey to go out

Chain restaurant supremacyI have never considered the ratio of chain res-

taurants to town restaurants but maybe it is time I think about it

To me and maybe most students fast food is good food While not always the case it is in my mind a good argument because when wersquore hungry we can become impatient and not want to wait 10 or 15 minutes plus delivery time to get a pizza that at times does not taste like it costs $5 $10 or $15

In my mind and the minds of many people you get what you pay for If you want a $15 piz-za it should at least taste like a $15 pizza

SACIS from page 1

By Ashleigh Owens Staff Reporter

A showcase of several films was presented to the public at the Tar-ble Arts Center Thursday for the Deacutetournement Film Night

The showing included ldquoLa so-cieacuteteacute du spectaclerdquo (1973) by Guy Debord ldquoWizard People Dear Readerrdquo (2004) by Brad Neely Exit through the Gift Shoprdquo (2010) by Paranoid Pictures and ldquoThe Sa-ranay Motelrdquo (2005) a trailer by El-liott Earls

Robert Petersen a professor of art history presented each film The instructor has done much re-search on deacutetournement as an art form

Deacutetournement involves the cap-turing of various images and clips turning them around as a new pre-sentation

Petersen co-curated the film ex-hibition along with Stephen Eskil-son who is also an art history pro-fessor at Eastern

ldquoThese films represent a very in-fluential idea in mass media and popular culture todayrdquo Peterson said

Petersen explained that while s tar t ing as pol i t ica l ar t move-ment many artists use these films as means to alter mass media cre-ations

According to Eskilson the cho-sen films are important because they give understanding to the goal of Deacutetournement

ldquoExit through the Gift Shoprdquo is the best known of the films pre-sented The film is a documentary about the notorious London graffiti artist known as Banksy Along with positive reviews this film has been nominated for many awards

Eskilson also explained the film would be the main feature and would be entertaining to students

During the showing the crowd laughed and seemed to find ldquoWiz-ard People Dear Readrsquo the most entertaining of the films

The film showed clips of ldquoHarry Potter and the Sorcerersrsquo Stonerdquo as the audio was cut and taken over by sarcastic and humorous narration

Sherece Street senior family and consumer sciences major said that Deacutetournement Film Night was well set up Although she attended for a course she was very happy to have attended

ldquoI liked the lsquoWizard People Dear Readerrsquo because it was hilariousrdquo Street said ldquolsquoExit through the Gift Shoprsquo was very interesting as wellrdquo

Rozek said the people of Jeopar-dy paid for her flight hotel room that slept up to four people and a stipend of $670 Rozek said the majority of her stipend went to cab fare after being in Los Angeles for three days filming two of those days

Toward the end of the program Rozek waved and mouthed ldquoHi momrdquo to the camera since her mom did not come with her to film the show

ldquoIrsquom from the area so Irsquom invested in this community on a deep level I have kids that attend schools in our dis-trict and I want to see continual change toward putting an end to sexual vio-lencerdquo Walters said

On Jan 1 Walters started her first day as the SACIS director and de-scribed her job as challenging but ex-citing at the same time

ldquoItrsquos a little bit exciting and a little bit anxiety provoking because there is a lot to it but I really enjoy working for the agencyrdquo Walters said ldquoI feel very pas-sionate about SACIS and the SACIS mission so I feel challenged in a very good wayrdquo

Currently Buckley is helping Walters through the transition period of being the new SACIS director

Walters said Buckley is guiding her through the new procedures and some of the financial aspects of the job

ldquoAt some point in time I will be able to kind of make some things a little bit my own but she has a really good foundation for everything so thatrsquos

made an easy transitionrdquo Walters said Walterrsquos new job position requires

grant writing networking office man-agement and financial and budget re-sponsibilities

ldquoThere is the key aspect that is still working with clients I still do advoca-cy I still might work with clients on one basis or another and thatrsquos really important to me and thatrsquos something I enjoy continuing onrdquo Walters said

SACIS was founded in 1977 and provides free confidential services that are available to anyone no matter when the time limit of the violence occurred

SACIS provides services for chil-dren all the way up to senior citizens They cover a wide service area which includes Coles Cumberland and parts of Clark County

ldquoThe SACIS mission is really to do our best to put an end to sexual vio-lence through advocacy prevention and educationrdquo she said

Walters said she wants to make sure that people in the community have a place to go for these types of services

ldquoWe just want to be the people that they can talk to We want to be there to empower them throughout the process of healingrdquo Walters said

Because registrations are recorded in a database the State would already be aware of the late registration he said

ldquo(The) UPD would attempt to get them registered and forward the infor-mation regarding the failure of the of-fender to register as requiredrdquo Due said

Depending on the level of severity Due said some offenders are required to register for the rest of their lives

Taylor Gutierrez a freshman com-munication disorders and sciences ma-jor said it never crossed her mind that people in her classes could be sex of-fenders

ldquoI think they should have to regis-ter so people can know where they arerdquo Gutierrez said ldquoItrsquos a good ideardquo

Gutierrez said she thinks the registra-tion is a great first step but another step to preventing sexual assault is for people to be aware of their surroundings

ldquoI make sure Irsquom not on my iPod and I try to be more aware of my sur-roundingsrdquo Gutierrez said

It is about being practical she saidErin Walters the executive director

of the Sexual Assault Counseling and Informative Services is in favor of the newly enacted law

There can never be enough avenues to track or keep track of offenders liv-ing on or around campus Walters said

ldquoIn many ways the university is somewhat separate from the general registration processrdquo she said ldquoI think this is a really great way to streamline all of the registry informationrdquo

Jill Radecki a sophomore sociology major said she thinks the registry is a good idea so students will be aware of potential dangers on campus

Radecki said she sees having to regis-ter with the police department as more than just a safety precaution

ldquoItrsquos a part of the punishment be-cause itrsquos like they are going to have to live with what they did and other peo-ple will knowrdquo she said

Chloe Lampo a sophomore busi-ness major said she is appreciates Illi-nois implementing this new law

Lampo also said she is not in agree-ment with the laws definition of a sex offender

ldquoIf theyrsquore a violent sex offender then thatrsquos goodmdashbut depending on the sit-uation I could go either wayrdquo Lampo said

While looking on the UPDrsquos website for parking passes Lampo said she end-ed up finding a website searching for sex offenders in Charleston

ldquoI was surprised by how many peo-ple offenders there were in the areardquo she said

According to familywatchdogus there are 16 sex offenders in Charles-ton but the Illinois State Policersquos web-site depicts the presence of 35 known offenders

Forty-six percent of rapists who were released from prison were re-arrested within 3 years of their release for anoth-er crime according to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network

Walters agrees with RAINNrsquos re-ports

ldquoI think if someone has been con-victed of sexually abusing or sexually assaulting someone in the past than the likelihood of re-offending is very highrdquo Walters said

Lampo said she has a friend who has to register as a sex offender even though she does not consider him a ldquopredatorrdquo

Due said the UPD has three-tiered approach to crime prevention en-forcement and education

The UPD has the Rape Aggres-sion Defense system on Fridays Sat-urdays and Sundays a womenrsquos only appointed necessary self-defense pro-gram where students will be taught tac-tics and techniques to defend them-selves

ldquoWe realized that each woman must decide if she will fight back but we can at least teach them how to do sordquo Due said ldquoThe program also covers safety information how to avoid bad situa-tions and some legal aspects of self-de-fenserdquo

the slow pace of the game hurt the Pan-thers offensive attack

Head coach Mike Miller said the Panthers did not shoot too poorly but there were just not that many shots in the game overall

ldquoItrsquos a grind out low possession gamerdquo Miller said ldquoUnfortunately we went through a stretch in the second half where we had a couple turnovers and (Eastern Kentucky) made a cou-ple shots and that probably cost us the gamerdquo

Granger was the only Panther to score in double-figures with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting

The Colonels were led by Jones with 12 points and DiNunno with 11

with the loss but he thinks they gave a good effort in the game

By Rob Mortell Staff Report

A critical 11-0 Eastern Kentucky run in a low scoring game with East-ernrsquos menrsquos basketball team was all the Colonels needed for a 47-43 victory over the Panthers on Thursday

Lantz Arena did not have much to cheer about except its team was in the lead at halftime 18-16 Although the game was not a fanrsquos dream or even a playerrsquos for that matter the teams battled in a close Ohio Valley Conference game

The Panthers went on a 10-4 run to open the second half and led 28-20 with 15 minutes left in the game The game would go back and forth for the next few minutes with East-ern maintaining control of the score-board

Down 33-27 Eastern Kentucky guard Mike DiNunno hit a jumper that catapulted the Colonels run Af-ter a three-point shot by guard Josh-ua Jones the guard cut to the bas-ket and converted on the gamersquos only lead change The run ended when an alley-oop pass was dunked by East-ernrsquos red-shirt junior forward James Hollowell The score was 38-35 and Eastern Kentucky never looked back

The Colonels slowed the pace of the game down with a deliberate of-fensive attack and the use of multiple zones on defense

Eastern Kentucky held a 44-37 lead with a minute remaining in the game and the Panthers did every-thing they could to come back but in the end the deficit was too large

Eastern lost its seventh consec-utive game 47-43 and falls to 9-13 overall and 2-8 in the OVC while Eastern Kentucky improves to 6-5 in conference play and 13-11

Losing streak extends to 7

As the Super Bowl nears students are gathering their snacks and friends together while rooting for their favor-ite teams

Chris Wojtysiak assistant director of Thomas Hall Dining said Thomas Dining Hall will host the Super Bowl party for the first time

He said it will be a good oppor-tunity to put on a student-friendly event

ldquoSince wersquore open wersquoll serve our Super Bowl menu as well as late-night pizzardquo Wojtysiak said ldquoWersquoll be able to have the entire game onrdquo

Wojtysiak said the menu will in-clude a build-your-own nacho bar hot dogs pizza slices chips and dip as well as the sandwich line being open

He said he expects a better turnout since it will be in Thomas instead of Taylor where the party had been held in previous years because students will be able to enjoy the entire game

Students can also enjoy the game by hosting their own gatherings

George Jones a sophomore geog-raphy major said before attending Eastern for him the Super Bowl was

more of a family tradition He said in years past he would in-

vite three or four friends over to watch the game with him and they would order pizza

He said he always felt like watch-ing the game felt like an American tra-dition

ldquoThe Super Bowl is always fun Itrsquos one of Americarsquos valuesrdquo Jones said ldquoEveryone in the world comes togeth-errdquo

Jones said this year he is watching the game at the Newman Center and favors the New York Giants to win

ldquoI love their style of play They like to get after the quarterback on de-fenserdquo Jones said ldquoIrsquom expecting a close gamerdquo

Brandal Miles a junior kinesiology major said last yearrsquos Super Bowl was especially important to him

ldquoIrsquom a Packers fan and everyone else didnrsquot want them to winrdquo Miles said

Miles said this yearrsquos game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham-pions

Before coming to Eastern Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri-

or to the game He said depending on who hosts the game each year would be different

ldquoWe would switch things up every yearrdquo Miles said

Miles said he and his family would cook things like nachos salads chick-en and Chinese food

Kevin Pranevicius a senior history major said he gets together with his friends and to him the Super Bowl is

a major deal He said he plans on watching the

pre-game coverage He added that the commercials every year are one of the factors that kept him watching the game

ldquoItrsquos always worth itrdquo Pranevicius said

Pranevicius said the right menu is crucial on Super Bowl Sunday

Overall Pranevicius said the Super

Bowl is always important to him ev-ery year

ldquoI make a big event out of itrdquo Pran-evicius said ldquoItrsquos a holiday and a big part of our livesrdquo

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

By Ethan Stephenson Verge Reporter

At 11 years old many young aspir-ing artists would not dream of having their work displayed publicly

However Olivia Standefer has al-ready obtained this goal by becoming the youngest artist to display work as Jackson Avenue Coffeersquos (JAC) featured artist of the month

Standefer of Marshall Ill will display 25 original paintings for the duration of the month of February

Though young Standefer said she is no stranger to the art world She has participated in at least a half-dozen group art showings including shows in Charleston and The Facto-ry Art Studios in Sullivan

Standefer said however this will be her first individual showcase in which she will be presenting what she calls ldquosplatter paintingsrdquo

She said she began painting sun-sets several years ago but as her fa-ther Jim Standefer suggests her passion for painting came much earlier

ldquoShe has always loved colorsrdquo he said

Taking only two introductory art lessons Standefer said that she real-ly developed her skills on her own

and was encouraged by a former tutor

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

opening of her workHe said further details about the

opening will be announced at a later date and will be displayed at JAC

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

and improvise over itrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos always the same music recipe but I like to make it feel right and how I like itrdquo

DANNY DAMIANI | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSMembers of Axiom Brass Colin Oldberg (left) Matthew Oliphant (middle) and Kevin Harrison (right) perform Mini Overture by Witold Luto-stawski during thier show New Standards in the Doudna Fine Arts Centers Recital Hall Thursday

By Samantha McDaniel Activities Editor

A musical quintet spread out to give the impression of surround sound during its concert Thursday

The Axiom Brass Quintet spread out in the Recital Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center Thurs-day during their piece ldquoCanzona per sonare n3rdquo by Giovanni Ga-brieli

Kayleigh Nuernberger a sopho-more music major said she found the surround sound effect interest-ing

ldquoThat was pretty cool because not a lot of people do stuff like thatrdquo Nuernberger said ldquoUsually during a performance they stay on the stage and donrsquot go out and stuff like thatrdquo

Axiom Brass is made up of members Dorival Puccini trumpet Colin Oldberg trumpet Matt Oli-phant horn Brett Johnson trom-bone and Kevin Harrison tuba

Harrison said they hope the au-dience liked their performance

ldquoWe are just looking forward to sharing music we are very pas-sionate about what we dordquo Harri-son said

Harrison said Axiom Brass likes performing in front of many differ-

ent peopleldquoWe present concerts to all kinds

of audiences all ages all around the country and the worldrdquo Har-rison said ldquoEvery venue we go to is different the attitude of the crowd is different and the response is dif-ferent and we just love presenting our concerts and sharing our mu-sicrdquo

During the concert Axiom Brass also played compositions such as ldquoMini Overturerdquo by Witold Lu-tostawski ldquoContrapunctus VIIrdquo by JS Bach ldquoBrass Quintet No 3 Op 7rdquo by Victor Ewald and ldquoThree Tangosrdquo by Astor Piazzolla

Maura Shepherd a sophomore music major said she liked the per-formance

ldquoI loved the ldquoThree Tangosrdquo Shepherd said ldquoIt was my favor-ite piecerdquo

Harrison said Axiom Brass gave two classes while at Eastern on Thursday

Harrison said the quintet gave a music business class and a class on chamber music

Harrison said Axiom Brass tries to teach students about things out-side of playing instruments and teaching others to play an instru-ment

ldquoMost music programs donrsquot in-

clude any sort of music business classrdquo Harrison said ldquoWe donrsquot al-ways learn how to sell ourselves or-ganize from a business stand point our careers

He said they were never taught anything about music business

ldquoMany of us have learned on the road and on the fly how to do all these business thingsrdquo Harrison said ldquoWe are just sharing our expe-riences with students helping them get a start on their own careersrdquo

He said they also showed stu-dents new techniques

ldquoWe work with university stu-dents who are in brass quintetsrdquo Harrison said ldquoWe are performing for them and giving them tips on how to perform a little better with their instruments and to play better as an ensemble and how to create great music using some of the tech-niques we use on a regular basesrdquo

Ashley Villalobos a senior mu-sic major said she was in a quin-tet that attended the second mas-ter class

ldquoI thoroughly enjoyed itrdquo Vil-lalobos said ldquoThey had a lot of ed-ucational tips on performing wellrdquo

Harrison said he hopes students learned something from the class-es

ldquoWith any of our classes we

hope students have a better under-standing and appreciation for the music they do every dayrdquo Harri-son said

Harrison said they do not per-form just to perform they are showing their creativity

ldquoWersquore in music because we love music we are passionate about it and we always want to get better at it whether it is through teaching or performingrdquo Harrison said ldquoWersquore creatingrdquo

Nuernberger said she likes hav-ing brass quintets come to perform at Eastern

ldquoLast year we had a brass quin-tet come here and itrsquos real nice to have someone come here to sup-port music and schools the way they dordquo Nuernberger said

Harrison said performing is something that Axiom Brass en-joys

ldquoItrsquos wonderful sharing our mu-sic in new venues and experienc-ing the unique sounds and getting different responsesrdquo Harrison said ldquoWe have music that is very diverse and connects with a lot of different people in many different waysrdquo

Music surrounds audience at Axiom Brass concert

By Samantha Bilharz Managing Editor

The Residence Hall Association kicked off its meeting with a guest speaker who had a specific cause and goal in mind

On Thursday Taylor Bainter a ju-nior fine arts major stood up in front of RHA members to ask students to spon-sor her cause

ldquoIn the past couple of years my fam-ily has had a couple brushes with can-cer My grandmother was just diag-nosed this past December with breast cancer and my aunt has been fight-ing colon cancer for the past two years thankfully they are both OKrdquo Bainter said

Because of this experience Baint-er wanted to help other people who are going through the same situation as her

ldquoThis made me think of what I can do to help when it comes to those fam-ilies who havenrsquot been so lucky when it comes to fighting cancerrdquo Bainter said

Bainter signed up to be a shavee for the St Baldrickrsquos Foundation A sha-vee is someone that shaves their head in honor of people who have cancer

St Baldrickrsquos Foundation is a non-profit foundation that is trying to find a cure for children who have cancer

APPORTIONMENT BOARD

By Rachel Rodgers Administration Editor

The Apportionment Board unan-imously approved a funding freeze Thursday for a combined amount of $33273 because of over-allocation and low enrollment

Mary Lane the student vice presi-dent for business affairs and a junior family and consumer sciences major said if they had not frozen the funds they would have been in trouble

ldquoTechnically the money we froze doesnrsquot existrdquo Lane said ldquoThere was over-allocation from last year because we did not anticipate the drop in en-rollment so we had the boards with-hold 6 percent of their budgetsrdquo

The University Board the Student Recreation Center and the Student Senate receive funds from student fees and each withheld about 6 percent of its budgets last semester

Even though the funds were with-held they had to be frozen to guaran-tee that they would not be spent Lane said

The Apportionment Board unani-mously approved the freezes separately

The Student Recreation Center cut $15000 from its budget and the Uni-versity Board also cut $15000 from its budget

The student recreation center made the cuts from supplies and equipment The University Board made cuts from salaries professional services travel-ing expenses printing and contractual services and commodities which con-

sists of give-a-ways decorations and food supplies for events

The Student Senate cut $3273 from executive tuition waivers mar-keting and student relation forums

The decision to freeze funds will be presented to the Student Senate on Wednesday and then it will go to Daniel Nadler the vice president for student affairs for approval

The next Apportionment Board meeting will be every Thursday begin-ning March 1 to draft the new budget for next year Lane said

An integral part of the budget mak-ing process will be to estimate how many students will be on campus in the fall Lane said

ldquoThe administrators in Old Main will look at how many students were on campus this year and last year along with how many students are looking to go to collegerdquo Lane said ldquoWhen you get down to it it is all a guessing gamerdquo

Lane said she expects additional cuts to next yearrsquos budget

ldquoWe didnrsquot need to make any cuts for the past two years but everything changes once you look at enrollment and the economyrdquo Lane said ldquoHowev-er I am confident that the boards will work with the budgets they have and still provide campus servicesrdquo

Megan McQueen a sophomore so-ciology major joined the Apportion-ment Board on Thursday

ldquoI think it is important to be aware about what is going on on-campus and to know what is happening with the money that students pay to come hererdquo McQueen said

SUPER BOWL

By Kathryn Richter City Editor

Eastern students comment on their plans for the face off between the New York Giants and the New Eng-land Patriots this Sunday

Rebecca Rosignolo a freshman communication studies major said as a child her family would get together for the Super Bowl

ldquoWe used to always have pizza and watch TVrdquo Rosignolo said

Rosignolo said it became hard-er to be with her family on Super Bowl Sunday with complications with

school and workLike Rosignolo Makenzie Mazi-

brook a freshman elementary educa-tion major said her family also throws a Super Bowl celebration party

Mazibrook said she feels like her mom because she will be cooking food for friends for the game

Mazibrook said she watches the game for the football but she has no team that she will be rooting for this year

Katie Eckberg a special education major said her family tradition also involves hosting a Super Bowl party

ldquoOur whole family comes over and

itrsquos a big get togetherrdquo Eckberg said ldquoTaco dip is always involvedrdquo

Eckberg said she will be watching the game with friends this year and rooting for the New York Giants even though she is a Chicago Bears fan

Eckberg said she will be rooting for the New York Giants because she does not want the New England Patriots to win

Jennifer Vogt a sophomore special education major will also be watching the game with friends this year

Vogt said she had just recent-ly started getting into football at the start of this season seeing as how her

older siblings are fanatic football play-ers

Vogt said she picked the New York Giants to root for at the beginning of the season because she was a fan of the New York Giantrsquos quarterback Eli Manning

Vogt said she had always been to a party on Super Bowl Sunday and will be watching the game this year with friends

Maurice Green a sophomore ac-counting major will also be going to a friendrsquos Super Bowl party but he will be traveling to his hometown of Downers Grove

Green like Eckberg said the game only has significance to him if the Chicago Bears are playing

While many students had Su-per Bowl traditions of family parties Ethan States a senior mathematics major said Super Bowl Sunday was like every other Sunday at his house

States said however he might watch the game at a small Super Bowl party

ldquoOtherwise Irsquod probably be doing homeworkrdquo States said

One argument that is sure to become a com-mon theme of the 2012 presidential election will be over President Obamarsquos influence on our recovery from the economic recession The current popular form that conservatives like to use is that Obama continues to pass off blame for the economy onto his predecessor President Bush and seemingly take no responsibility for the fact that we still have not begun to recover our pre-recession economic status

This argument has been both lampooned and bashed for its ostensible willful igno-rance of anything President Bush may have done wrong One recent example was a picture a Facebook friend of mine shared recently out of amusement that said blaming Obama over Bush for the economy was equivalent to ldquotrash-ing your apartment and then yelling at your roommate when he comes in and tries to clean the messrdquo

Joke taken but I think what has been lost in the whirl of our short-term-memory political discourse is the long-term effects presidential policy have beyond their relatively short four- to eight-year terms

I am willing to admit that Bush made a huge mistake by driving up federal spending and not doing much to stem the rise of the national debt While some of the specifics of Bushrsquos role in creating the recession are debatable it is gen-erally easy to tell that a focus on national de-fensemdashour military operations in Iraq and Af-ghanistanmdashtook time (and money) away from

other important domestic fiscal issuesThese policy decisions played their respec-

tive roles in the economic situation that played out very late in Bushrsquos second term leaving the longer lasting effects to become obvious after Obama had taken office The question then be-comes what has President Obama done in re-lation to federal policy to help the economy get turned around

Enter the bailouts stimulus packages health care reform banking reform and arguments for increasing taxes on the rich and companies that outsource jobs Oh yeah and increased government spending and quite a bit of it in-volving the big-name efforts previously men-tioned

About a year ago an article in The Week-ly Standard by Jeffrey H Anderson detailed Obamarsquos record in regards to the federal budget and deficit After differentiating between what could be credited as money Bush spent versus what Obama spent Anderson calculated that Obama was responsible for $44 trillion in ac-

tual or projected deficit spending after three years in office

Citing the White House Office of Manage-ment and Budget Obamarsquos deficit spending is 37 percent higher than President Bushrsquos record of $32 trillion in deficit spending over eight years in office leaving Obamarsquos average annu-al deficit spending with a 97 percent share of our gross domestic product To put this in per-spective this is higher than the federal deficitrsquos share of our economic output during World War II or the respective terms of President Rea-gan George HW Bush or George W Bush

So what do all these numbers mean in re-gards to long-term economic effects Well for one our national debt is getting massively out of hand even more so than it has in the past creating a situation that affects this current generation and those that follow

Moreover a federal deficit prevents us from even paying the off the interest on our national debt perpetuating the issue of how to balance the budget thereby raising the specter of taxes and spending cuts no one wants to make

Speaking as lucidly as possible Obamarsquos long-term effect on the economy will probably be more profound than any of his predecessors and more damaging to all of us in the long run

COLUMN

To professorxeiueduFrom luvdaladyzhotmailcomSubject Whats the dealHey I need the hw for wednesday im in your eng-

lish class but I missed it cuz I had a crazy weekend lol jk ) did you guys do anything Are there notes I can get them I canrsquot fail this class My bad Later DJ

Pity the poor professors They get a lot of these emails Email is here to stay and for the most part that is a good thing But with these new pow-ers come new responsibilities We talked to some professors and read their blog posts on the topic One of the best of those is from English professor Michael Leddy who wrote about this on his blog mleddyblogspotcom

Bad student emails tend to fail in at least one of three capacities information literacy and tone

Information This is probably the most com-mon flaw in student emails The student wants information but doesnrsquot provide any Professors have lots of students in lots of classes Donrsquot expect them to remember your nickname or what class you are in It might be your only English class but as Leddy points out an English professor teach-es nothing but English classes Put your name and course number in the email preferably in the sub-ject line

Use your university email not your person-al account It is more professional and will get through spam filters Know what you are asking for and be clear and concise Donrsquot ask for notes if you missed class get them from a classmate You should check the syllabus to get an idea of what you missed but therersquos nothing wrong with asking if anything else was covered or assigned

Literacy Itrsquos one thing to show the world you canrsquot bother to correctly capitalize punctuate or spell over Facebook Itrsquos another thing to show your professor you lack basic writing skills Donrsquot abbreviate Use spell-check and proofread your email before pressing ldquosendrdquo We suggest reading the email aloud

Tone Some of this is common sense Donrsquot be rude crude or presumptuous Politely ask for what you want donrsquot demand it Donrsquot ask if you missed anything ask what you missed Your teach-er knows you want a good grade mentioning it undermines the purpose of the class (ie to learn stuff) Be professional Ditch the ldquololsrdquo and emoti-consmdashtextese isnrsquot considered a formal language in the academic world

Greetings and salutations are a bit trickier We think ldquoHeyrdquo is rude and ldquoDearrdquo is weird There is debate over the preferable honorific Mr Mrs and Ms should be avoided Dr isnrsquot perfectmdashsome like it some donrsquot some donrsquot have a doctorate That said some professors are horrified if you donrsquot acknowledge their doctorate immediately The saf-est bet is ldquoHelloHi professor Xrdquo

Likewise salutations should be considerate ldquoSincerelyrdquo ldquoBest wishesrdquo and ldquoWarmest regardsrdquo are all a bit too much We think ldquoThanksThank yourdquo is almost always appropriate Whatever you choose put your full name on the bottom includ-ing your course number if you didnrsquot mention it earlier

Email can be a blessing for students and pro-fessors But some things should be talked about in person so donrsquot hesitate to visit your professor dur-ing office hours Professors arenrsquot off the hook though Wersquoll address their mistakes on Monday

Charleston staples falling victim to bad economyIn nearly three years as an Eastern student I

have seen Charlestonrsquos staple restaurants simply vanish into thin air I simplified this into a trend of restaurants and bars that have opened and closed at the snap of someonersquos fingers

I think the economy is partly responsible for lowering demand for such places and because of students not really being interested in new places popping up out of nowhere

It is a given trend of popular thought that college students are poor and go out to eat less than they normally would This may be so I have observed students sticking to either the University Union or the dining centers for their meals in order to save money

From a self-observation standpoint I saw myself going out to eat more but now I am get-ting used to the dining halls again

Now Irsquom not against a town opening up a new restaurant to distinguish itself from other surrounding towns but from what I have seen unless yoursquore a chain or a town staple a restau-rant or bar has little chance to survive and here is why I think so

Town staples feel familiar to peopleWhen I first came to Eastern I had minimal

knowledge of where to go out to eat at least on the weekends As I became familiar with the Charleston setting I picked up knowledge of where to go

In the nearly three years I have been a student

here I have seen places like Boxa disappear into thin air and I wondered two things First why did I never eat there when it was in town espe-cially hearing how good it was Second why did it close despite it being a good restaurant

Hearing these stories from my cousin a for-mer Eastern student I would think a place like Boxa would still be around today especial-ly with it becoming a part of the townrsquos person-ality

Another placemdashalthough I thought was just a chain restaurant at first it actually started in Charlestonmdashis Jimmy Johnrsquos

Since 1983 Jimmy Johnrsquos has proudly served the Eastern community its finest sandwich-es and has grown from a simple sandwich shop into a chain conglomerate while still holding on to its university roots (which is why I do not consider Jimmy Johnrsquos to be a chain conglomer-ate though technically it is)

I wonder at times why some places like

Boxa are considered semi-staples and yet still get shut down To me it does not seem fair es-pecially because I never gave myself the chance to eat there

Could it be that the downed economy is forc-ing the rent on the buildings to go up thus forcing restaurant and bar owners to mass-pro-duce to pay such high rents among other fees

Is it the simple yet opinionated reality that new restaurants going up against town staples have little or no chance of survival especial-ly when students may not always have the mon-ey to go out

Chain restaurant supremacyI have never considered the ratio of chain res-

taurants to town restaurants but maybe it is time I think about it

To me and maybe most students fast food is good food While not always the case it is in my mind a good argument because when wersquore hungry we can become impatient and not want to wait 10 or 15 minutes plus delivery time to get a pizza that at times does not taste like it costs $5 $10 or $15

In my mind and the minds of many people you get what you pay for If you want a $15 piz-za it should at least taste like a $15 pizza

SACIS from page 1

By Ashleigh Owens Staff Reporter

A showcase of several films was presented to the public at the Tar-ble Arts Center Thursday for the Deacutetournement Film Night

The showing included ldquoLa so-cieacuteteacute du spectaclerdquo (1973) by Guy Debord ldquoWizard People Dear Readerrdquo (2004) by Brad Neely Exit through the Gift Shoprdquo (2010) by Paranoid Pictures and ldquoThe Sa-ranay Motelrdquo (2005) a trailer by El-liott Earls

Robert Petersen a professor of art history presented each film The instructor has done much re-search on deacutetournement as an art form

Deacutetournement involves the cap-turing of various images and clips turning them around as a new pre-sentation

Petersen co-curated the film ex-hibition along with Stephen Eskil-son who is also an art history pro-fessor at Eastern

ldquoThese films represent a very in-fluential idea in mass media and popular culture todayrdquo Peterson said

Petersen explained that while s tar t ing as pol i t ica l ar t move-ment many artists use these films as means to alter mass media cre-ations

According to Eskilson the cho-sen films are important because they give understanding to the goal of Deacutetournement

ldquoExit through the Gift Shoprdquo is the best known of the films pre-sented The film is a documentary about the notorious London graffiti artist known as Banksy Along with positive reviews this film has been nominated for many awards

Eskilson also explained the film would be the main feature and would be entertaining to students

During the showing the crowd laughed and seemed to find ldquoWiz-ard People Dear Readrsquo the most entertaining of the films

The film showed clips of ldquoHarry Potter and the Sorcerersrsquo Stonerdquo as the audio was cut and taken over by sarcastic and humorous narration

Sherece Street senior family and consumer sciences major said that Deacutetournement Film Night was well set up Although she attended for a course she was very happy to have attended

ldquoI liked the lsquoWizard People Dear Readerrsquo because it was hilariousrdquo Street said ldquolsquoExit through the Gift Shoprsquo was very interesting as wellrdquo

Rozek said the people of Jeopar-dy paid for her flight hotel room that slept up to four people and a stipend of $670 Rozek said the majority of her stipend went to cab fare after being in Los Angeles for three days filming two of those days

Toward the end of the program Rozek waved and mouthed ldquoHi momrdquo to the camera since her mom did not come with her to film the show

ldquoIrsquom from the area so Irsquom invested in this community on a deep level I have kids that attend schools in our dis-trict and I want to see continual change toward putting an end to sexual vio-lencerdquo Walters said

On Jan 1 Walters started her first day as the SACIS director and de-scribed her job as challenging but ex-citing at the same time

ldquoItrsquos a little bit exciting and a little bit anxiety provoking because there is a lot to it but I really enjoy working for the agencyrdquo Walters said ldquoI feel very pas-sionate about SACIS and the SACIS mission so I feel challenged in a very good wayrdquo

Currently Buckley is helping Walters through the transition period of being the new SACIS director

Walters said Buckley is guiding her through the new procedures and some of the financial aspects of the job

ldquoAt some point in time I will be able to kind of make some things a little bit my own but she has a really good foundation for everything so thatrsquos

made an easy transitionrdquo Walters said Walterrsquos new job position requires

grant writing networking office man-agement and financial and budget re-sponsibilities

ldquoThere is the key aspect that is still working with clients I still do advoca-cy I still might work with clients on one basis or another and thatrsquos really important to me and thatrsquos something I enjoy continuing onrdquo Walters said

SACIS was founded in 1977 and provides free confidential services that are available to anyone no matter when the time limit of the violence occurred

SACIS provides services for chil-dren all the way up to senior citizens They cover a wide service area which includes Coles Cumberland and parts of Clark County

ldquoThe SACIS mission is really to do our best to put an end to sexual vio-lence through advocacy prevention and educationrdquo she said

Walters said she wants to make sure that people in the community have a place to go for these types of services

ldquoWe just want to be the people that they can talk to We want to be there to empower them throughout the process of healingrdquo Walters said

Because registrations are recorded in a database the State would already be aware of the late registration he said

ldquo(The) UPD would attempt to get them registered and forward the infor-mation regarding the failure of the of-fender to register as requiredrdquo Due said

Depending on the level of severity Due said some offenders are required to register for the rest of their lives

Taylor Gutierrez a freshman com-munication disorders and sciences ma-jor said it never crossed her mind that people in her classes could be sex of-fenders

ldquoI think they should have to regis-ter so people can know where they arerdquo Gutierrez said ldquoItrsquos a good ideardquo

Gutierrez said she thinks the registra-tion is a great first step but another step to preventing sexual assault is for people to be aware of their surroundings

ldquoI make sure Irsquom not on my iPod and I try to be more aware of my sur-roundingsrdquo Gutierrez said

It is about being practical she saidErin Walters the executive director

of the Sexual Assault Counseling and Informative Services is in favor of the newly enacted law

There can never be enough avenues to track or keep track of offenders liv-ing on or around campus Walters said

ldquoIn many ways the university is somewhat separate from the general registration processrdquo she said ldquoI think this is a really great way to streamline all of the registry informationrdquo

Jill Radecki a sophomore sociology major said she thinks the registry is a good idea so students will be aware of potential dangers on campus

Radecki said she sees having to regis-ter with the police department as more than just a safety precaution

ldquoItrsquos a part of the punishment be-cause itrsquos like they are going to have to live with what they did and other peo-ple will knowrdquo she said

Chloe Lampo a sophomore busi-ness major said she is appreciates Illi-nois implementing this new law

Lampo also said she is not in agree-ment with the laws definition of a sex offender

ldquoIf theyrsquore a violent sex offender then thatrsquos goodmdashbut depending on the sit-uation I could go either wayrdquo Lampo said

While looking on the UPDrsquos website for parking passes Lampo said she end-ed up finding a website searching for sex offenders in Charleston

ldquoI was surprised by how many peo-ple offenders there were in the areardquo she said

According to familywatchdogus there are 16 sex offenders in Charles-ton but the Illinois State Policersquos web-site depicts the presence of 35 known offenders

Forty-six percent of rapists who were released from prison were re-arrested within 3 years of their release for anoth-er crime according to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network

Walters agrees with RAINNrsquos re-ports

ldquoI think if someone has been con-victed of sexually abusing or sexually assaulting someone in the past than the likelihood of re-offending is very highrdquo Walters said

Lampo said she has a friend who has to register as a sex offender even though she does not consider him a ldquopredatorrdquo

Due said the UPD has three-tiered approach to crime prevention en-forcement and education

The UPD has the Rape Aggres-sion Defense system on Fridays Sat-urdays and Sundays a womenrsquos only appointed necessary self-defense pro-gram where students will be taught tac-tics and techniques to defend them-selves

ldquoWe realized that each woman must decide if she will fight back but we can at least teach them how to do sordquo Due said ldquoThe program also covers safety information how to avoid bad situa-tions and some legal aspects of self-de-fenserdquo

the slow pace of the game hurt the Pan-thers offensive attack

Head coach Mike Miller said the Panthers did not shoot too poorly but there were just not that many shots in the game overall

ldquoItrsquos a grind out low possession gamerdquo Miller said ldquoUnfortunately we went through a stretch in the second half where we had a couple turnovers and (Eastern Kentucky) made a cou-ple shots and that probably cost us the gamerdquo

Granger was the only Panther to score in double-figures with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting

The Colonels were led by Jones with 12 points and DiNunno with 11

with the loss but he thinks they gave a good effort in the game

By Rob Mortell Staff Report

A critical 11-0 Eastern Kentucky run in a low scoring game with East-ernrsquos menrsquos basketball team was all the Colonels needed for a 47-43 victory over the Panthers on Thursday

Lantz Arena did not have much to cheer about except its team was in the lead at halftime 18-16 Although the game was not a fanrsquos dream or even a playerrsquos for that matter the teams battled in a close Ohio Valley Conference game

The Panthers went on a 10-4 run to open the second half and led 28-20 with 15 minutes left in the game The game would go back and forth for the next few minutes with East-ern maintaining control of the score-board

Down 33-27 Eastern Kentucky guard Mike DiNunno hit a jumper that catapulted the Colonels run Af-ter a three-point shot by guard Josh-ua Jones the guard cut to the bas-ket and converted on the gamersquos only lead change The run ended when an alley-oop pass was dunked by East-ernrsquos red-shirt junior forward James Hollowell The score was 38-35 and Eastern Kentucky never looked back

The Colonels slowed the pace of the game down with a deliberate of-fensive attack and the use of multiple zones on defense

Eastern Kentucky held a 44-37 lead with a minute remaining in the game and the Panthers did every-thing they could to come back but in the end the deficit was too large

Eastern lost its seventh consec-utive game 47-43 and falls to 9-13 overall and 2-8 in the OVC while Eastern Kentucky improves to 6-5 in conference play and 13-11

Losing streak extends to 7

As the Super Bowl nears students are gathering their snacks and friends together while rooting for their favor-ite teams

Chris Wojtysiak assistant director of Thomas Hall Dining said Thomas Dining Hall will host the Super Bowl party for the first time

He said it will be a good oppor-tunity to put on a student-friendly event

ldquoSince wersquore open wersquoll serve our Super Bowl menu as well as late-night pizzardquo Wojtysiak said ldquoWersquoll be able to have the entire game onrdquo

Wojtysiak said the menu will in-clude a build-your-own nacho bar hot dogs pizza slices chips and dip as well as the sandwich line being open

He said he expects a better turnout since it will be in Thomas instead of Taylor where the party had been held in previous years because students will be able to enjoy the entire game

Students can also enjoy the game by hosting their own gatherings

George Jones a sophomore geog-raphy major said before attending Eastern for him the Super Bowl was

more of a family tradition He said in years past he would in-

vite three or four friends over to watch the game with him and they would order pizza

He said he always felt like watch-ing the game felt like an American tra-dition

ldquoThe Super Bowl is always fun Itrsquos one of Americarsquos valuesrdquo Jones said ldquoEveryone in the world comes togeth-errdquo

Jones said this year he is watching the game at the Newman Center and favors the New York Giants to win

ldquoI love their style of play They like to get after the quarterback on de-fenserdquo Jones said ldquoIrsquom expecting a close gamerdquo

Brandal Miles a junior kinesiology major said last yearrsquos Super Bowl was especially important to him

ldquoIrsquom a Packers fan and everyone else didnrsquot want them to winrdquo Miles said

Miles said this yearrsquos game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham-pions

Before coming to Eastern Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri-

or to the game He said depending on who hosts the game each year would be different

ldquoWe would switch things up every yearrdquo Miles said

Miles said he and his family would cook things like nachos salads chick-en and Chinese food

Kevin Pranevicius a senior history major said he gets together with his friends and to him the Super Bowl is

a major deal He said he plans on watching the

pre-game coverage He added that the commercials every year are one of the factors that kept him watching the game

ldquoItrsquos always worth itrdquo Pranevicius said

Pranevicius said the right menu is crucial on Super Bowl Sunday

Overall Pranevicius said the Super

Bowl is always important to him ev-ery year

ldquoI make a big event out of itrdquo Pran-evicius said ldquoItrsquos a holiday and a big part of our livesrdquo

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

At 11 years old many young aspir-ing artists would not dream of having their work displayed publicly

However Olivia Standefer has al-ready obtained this goal by becoming the youngest artist to display work as Jackson Avenue Coffeersquos (JAC) featured artist of the month

Standefer of Marshall Ill will display 25 original paintings for the duration of the month of February

Though young Standefer said she is no stranger to the art world She has participated in at least a half-dozen group art showings including shows in Charleston and The Facto-ry Art Studios in Sullivan

Standefer said however this will be her first individual showcase in which she will be presenting what she calls ldquosplatter paintingsrdquo

She said she began painting sun-sets several years ago but as her fa-ther Jim Standefer suggests her passion for painting came much earlier

ldquoShe has always loved colorsrdquo he said

Taking only two introductory art lessons Standefer said that she real-ly developed her skills on her own

and was encouraged by a former tutor

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

opening of her workHe said further details about the

opening will be announced at a later date and will be displayed at JAC

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

and improvise over itrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos always the same music recipe but I like to make it feel right and how I like itrdquo

The Residence Hall Association kicked off its meeting with a guest speaker who had a specific cause and goal in mind

On Thursday Taylor Bainter a ju-nior fine arts major stood up in front of RHA members to ask students to spon-sor her cause

ldquoIn the past couple of years my fam-ily has had a couple brushes with can-cer My grandmother was just diag-nosed this past December with breast cancer and my aunt has been fight-ing colon cancer for the past two years thankfully they are both OKrdquo Bainter said

Because of this experience Baint-er wanted to help other people who are going through the same situation as her

ldquoThis made me think of what I can do to help when it comes to those fam-ilies who havenrsquot been so lucky when it comes to fighting cancerrdquo Bainter said

Bainter signed up to be a shavee for the St Baldrickrsquos Foundation A sha-vee is someone that shaves their head in honor of people who have cancer

St Baldrickrsquos Foundation is a non-profit foundation that is trying to find a cure for children who have cancer

Bainter asked students at the RHA meeting for money to be a shavee when the foundation comes to her hometown of Bolingbrook on March 24

ldquoI can honor kids that live around my area and Irsquom honoring six kids who are currently fighting cancer and a few of them are in remission So what Irsquom asking you today is if any of you can sponsor me in any way any amount helpsrdquo Bainter said

She has currently raised $16480 on her own

Other topics discussed were the Dis-

ney theme for ldquoKids and Friends Week-endrdquo Each residence hall will be deco-rated to go along with this theme ldquoKids and Friends Weekendrdquo will take place on Feb 24 and Feb 25

ROC Fest theme ideas were also dis-cussed but will be discussed more in de-

tail at the next RHA meeting Jake Neese the RHA president de-

scribed the meeting as ldquoshort and sweetrdquo

APPORTIONMENT BOARD

By Rachel Rodgers Administration Editor

The Apportionment Board unan-imously approved a funding freeze Thursday for a combined amount of $33273 because of over-allocation and low enrollment

Mary Lane the student vice presi-dent for business affairs and a junior family and consumer sciences major said if they had not frozen the funds they would have been in trouble

ldquoTechnically the money we froze doesnrsquot existrdquo Lane said ldquoThere was over-allocation from last year because we did not anticipate the drop in en-rollment so we had the boards with-hold 6 percent of their budgetsrdquo

The University Board the Student Recreation Center and the Student Senate receive funds from student fees and each withheld about 6 percent of its budgets last semester

Even though the funds were with-held they had to be frozen to guaran-tee that they would not be spent Lane said

The Apportionment Board unani-mously approved the freezes separately

The Student Recreation Center cut $15000 from its budget and the Uni-versity Board also cut $15000 from its budget

The student recreation center made the cuts from supplies and equipment The University Board made cuts from salaries professional services travel-ing expenses printing and contractual services and commodities which con-

sists of give-a-ways decorations and food supplies for events

The Student Senate cut $3273 from executive tuition waivers mar-keting and student relation forums

The decision to freeze funds will be presented to the Student Senate on Wednesday and then it will go to Daniel Nadler the vice president for student affairs for approval

The next Apportionment Board meeting will be every Thursday begin-ning March 1 to draft the new budget for next year Lane said

An integral part of the budget mak-ing process will be to estimate how many students will be on campus in the fall Lane said

ldquoThe administrators in Old Main will look at how many students were on campus this year and last year along with how many students are looking to go to collegerdquo Lane said ldquoWhen you get down to it it is all a guessing gamerdquo

Lane said she expects additional cuts to next yearrsquos budget

ldquoWe didnrsquot need to make any cuts for the past two years but everything changes once you look at enrollment and the economyrdquo Lane said ldquoHowev-er I am confident that the boards will work with the budgets they have and still provide campus servicesrdquo

Megan McQueen a sophomore so-ciology major joined the Apportion-ment Board on Thursday

ldquoI think it is important to be aware about what is going on on-campus and to know what is happening with the money that students pay to come hererdquo McQueen said

SUPER BOWL

By Kathryn Richter City Editor

Eastern students comment on their plans for the face off between the New York Giants and the New Eng-land Patriots this Sunday

Rebecca Rosignolo a freshman communication studies major said as a child her family would get together for the Super Bowl

ldquoWe used to always have pizza and watch TVrdquo Rosignolo said

Rosignolo said it became hard-er to be with her family on Super Bowl Sunday with complications with

school and workLike Rosignolo Makenzie Mazi-

brook a freshman elementary educa-tion major said her family also throws a Super Bowl celebration party

Mazibrook said she feels like her mom because she will be cooking food for friends for the game

Mazibrook said she watches the game for the football but she has no team that she will be rooting for this year

Katie Eckberg a special education major said her family tradition also involves hosting a Super Bowl party

ldquoOur whole family comes over and

itrsquos a big get togetherrdquo Eckberg said ldquoTaco dip is always involvedrdquo

Eckberg said she will be watching the game with friends this year and rooting for the New York Giants even though she is a Chicago Bears fan

Eckberg said she will be rooting for the New York Giants because she does not want the New England Patriots to win

Jennifer Vogt a sophomore special education major will also be watching the game with friends this year

Vogt said she had just recent-ly started getting into football at the start of this season seeing as how her

older siblings are fanatic football play-ers

Vogt said she picked the New York Giants to root for at the beginning of the season because she was a fan of the New York Giantrsquos quarterback Eli Manning

Vogt said she had always been to a party on Super Bowl Sunday and will be watching the game this year with friends

Maurice Green a sophomore ac-counting major will also be going to a friendrsquos Super Bowl party but he will be traveling to his hometown of Downers Grove

Green like Eckberg said the game only has significance to him if the Chicago Bears are playing

While many students had Su-per Bowl traditions of family parties Ethan States a senior mathematics major said Super Bowl Sunday was like every other Sunday at his house

States said however he might watch the game at a small Super Bowl party

ldquoOtherwise Irsquod probably be doing homeworkrdquo States said

One argument that is sure to become a com-mon theme of the 2012 presidential election will be over President Obamarsquos influence on our recovery from the economic recession The current popular form that conservatives like to use is that Obama continues to pass off blame for the economy onto his predecessor President Bush and seemingly take no responsibility for the fact that we still have not begun to recover our pre-recession economic status

This argument has been both lampooned and bashed for its ostensible willful igno-rance of anything President Bush may have done wrong One recent example was a picture a Facebook friend of mine shared recently out of amusement that said blaming Obama over Bush for the economy was equivalent to ldquotrash-ing your apartment and then yelling at your roommate when he comes in and tries to clean the messrdquo

Joke taken but I think what has been lost in the whirl of our short-term-memory political discourse is the long-term effects presidential policy have beyond their relatively short four- to eight-year terms

I am willing to admit that Bush made a huge mistake by driving up federal spending and not doing much to stem the rise of the national debt While some of the specifics of Bushrsquos role in creating the recession are debatable it is gen-erally easy to tell that a focus on national de-fensemdashour military operations in Iraq and Af-ghanistanmdashtook time (and money) away from

other important domestic fiscal issuesThese policy decisions played their respec-

tive roles in the economic situation that played out very late in Bushrsquos second term leaving the longer lasting effects to become obvious after Obama had taken office The question then be-comes what has President Obama done in re-lation to federal policy to help the economy get turned around

Enter the bailouts stimulus packages health care reform banking reform and arguments for increasing taxes on the rich and companies that outsource jobs Oh yeah and increased government spending and quite a bit of it in-volving the big-name efforts previously men-tioned

About a year ago an article in The Week-ly Standard by Jeffrey H Anderson detailed Obamarsquos record in regards to the federal budget and deficit After differentiating between what could be credited as money Bush spent versus what Obama spent Anderson calculated that Obama was responsible for $44 trillion in ac-

tual or projected deficit spending after three years in office

Citing the White House Office of Manage-ment and Budget Obamarsquos deficit spending is 37 percent higher than President Bushrsquos record of $32 trillion in deficit spending over eight years in office leaving Obamarsquos average annu-al deficit spending with a 97 percent share of our gross domestic product To put this in per-spective this is higher than the federal deficitrsquos share of our economic output during World War II or the respective terms of President Rea-gan George HW Bush or George W Bush

So what do all these numbers mean in re-gards to long-term economic effects Well for one our national debt is getting massively out of hand even more so than it has in the past creating a situation that affects this current generation and those that follow

Moreover a federal deficit prevents us from even paying the off the interest on our national debt perpetuating the issue of how to balance the budget thereby raising the specter of taxes and spending cuts no one wants to make

Speaking as lucidly as possible Obamarsquos long-term effect on the economy will probably be more profound than any of his predecessors and more damaging to all of us in the long run

To professorxeiueduFrom luvdaladyzhotmailcomSubject Whats the dealHey I need the hw for wednesday im in your eng-

lish class but I missed it cuz I had a crazy weekend lol jk ) did you guys do anything Are there notes I can get them I canrsquot fail this class My bad Later DJ

Pity the poor professors They get a lot of these emails Email is here to stay and for the most part that is a good thing But with these new pow-ers come new responsibilities We talked to some professors and read their blog posts on the topic One of the best of those is from English professor Michael Leddy who wrote about this on his blog mleddyblogspotcom

Bad student emails tend to fail in at least one of three capacities information literacy and tone

Information This is probably the most com-mon flaw in student emails The student wants information but doesnrsquot provide any Professors have lots of students in lots of classes Donrsquot expect them to remember your nickname or what class you are in It might be your only English class but as Leddy points out an English professor teach-es nothing but English classes Put your name and course number in the email preferably in the sub-ject line

Use your university email not your person-al account It is more professional and will get through spam filters Know what you are asking for and be clear and concise Donrsquot ask for notes if you missed class get them from a classmate You should check the syllabus to get an idea of what you missed but therersquos nothing wrong with asking if anything else was covered or assigned

Literacy Itrsquos one thing to show the world you canrsquot bother to correctly capitalize punctuate or spell over Facebook Itrsquos another thing to show your professor you lack basic writing skills Donrsquot abbreviate Use spell-check and proofread your email before pressing ldquosendrdquo We suggest reading the email aloud

Tone Some of this is common sense Donrsquot be rude crude or presumptuous Politely ask for what you want donrsquot demand it Donrsquot ask if you missed anything ask what you missed Your teach-er knows you want a good grade mentioning it undermines the purpose of the class (ie to learn stuff) Be professional Ditch the ldquololsrdquo and emoti-consmdashtextese isnrsquot considered a formal language in the academic world

Greetings and salutations are a bit trickier We think ldquoHeyrdquo is rude and ldquoDearrdquo is weird There is debate over the preferable honorific Mr Mrs and Ms should be avoided Dr isnrsquot perfectmdashsome like it some donrsquot some donrsquot have a doctorate That said some professors are horrified if you donrsquot acknowledge their doctorate immediately The saf-est bet is ldquoHelloHi professor Xrdquo

Likewise salutations should be considerate ldquoSincerelyrdquo ldquoBest wishesrdquo and ldquoWarmest regardsrdquo are all a bit too much We think ldquoThanksThank yourdquo is almost always appropriate Whatever you choose put your full name on the bottom includ-ing your course number if you didnrsquot mention it earlier

Email can be a blessing for students and pro-fessors But some things should be talked about in person so donrsquot hesitate to visit your professor dur-ing office hours Professors arenrsquot off the hook though Wersquoll address their mistakes on Monday

Charleston staples falling victim to bad economyIn nearly three years as an Eastern student I

have seen Charlestonrsquos staple restaurants simply vanish into thin air I simplified this into a trend of restaurants and bars that have opened and closed at the snap of someonersquos fingers

I think the economy is partly responsible for lowering demand for such places and because of students not really being interested in new places popping up out of nowhere

It is a given trend of popular thought that college students are poor and go out to eat less than they normally would This may be so I have observed students sticking to either the University Union or the dining centers for their meals in order to save money

From a self-observation standpoint I saw myself going out to eat more but now I am get-ting used to the dining halls again

Now Irsquom not against a town opening up a new restaurant to distinguish itself from other surrounding towns but from what I have seen unless yoursquore a chain or a town staple a restau-rant or bar has little chance to survive and here is why I think so

Town staples feel familiar to peopleWhen I first came to Eastern I had minimal

knowledge of where to go out to eat at least on the weekends As I became familiar with the Charleston setting I picked up knowledge of where to go

In the nearly three years I have been a student

here I have seen places like Boxa disappear into thin air and I wondered two things First why did I never eat there when it was in town espe-cially hearing how good it was Second why did it close despite it being a good restaurant

Hearing these stories from my cousin a for-mer Eastern student I would think a place like Boxa would still be around today especial-ly with it becoming a part of the townrsquos person-ality

Another placemdashalthough I thought was just a chain restaurant at first it actually started in Charlestonmdashis Jimmy Johnrsquos

Since 1983 Jimmy Johnrsquos has proudly served the Eastern community its finest sandwich-es and has grown from a simple sandwich shop into a chain conglomerate while still holding on to its university roots (which is why I do not consider Jimmy Johnrsquos to be a chain conglomer-ate though technically it is)

I wonder at times why some places like

Boxa are considered semi-staples and yet still get shut down To me it does not seem fair es-pecially because I never gave myself the chance to eat there

Could it be that the downed economy is forc-ing the rent on the buildings to go up thus forcing restaurant and bar owners to mass-pro-duce to pay such high rents among other fees

Is it the simple yet opinionated reality that new restaurants going up against town staples have little or no chance of survival especial-ly when students may not always have the mon-ey to go out

Chain restaurant supremacyI have never considered the ratio of chain res-

taurants to town restaurants but maybe it is time I think about it

To me and maybe most students fast food is good food While not always the case it is in my mind a good argument because when wersquore hungry we can become impatient and not want to wait 10 or 15 minutes plus delivery time to get a pizza that at times does not taste like it costs $5 $10 or $15

In my mind and the minds of many people you get what you pay for If you want a $15 piz-za it should at least taste like a $15 pizza

Erin Walters the SACIS director works in the basement of Lawson Hall Walters took over from Bonnie Buckley the former director of SACIS on Jan 1

DOUG T GR AHAM | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS Stephen Canfield left foreign languages department chair reads a T-shirt modelled by Mike Schuetz a Tarble Arts Center employee before a crowd of onlookers at the Deacutetournement Film Night in Tarble Thursday night The shirt created by Kevin Green a graduate student in history reads Sure I would like to discuss feminist art with you Unfortunatly youre a minor character and no one would care Greens work was selected by the events organizers as the best example of deacutetournement art

SACIS from page 1

By Ashleigh Owens Staff Reporter

A showcase of several films was presented to the public at the Tar-ble Arts Center Thursday for the Deacutetournement Film Night

The showing included ldquoLa so-cieacuteteacute du spectaclerdquo (1973) by Guy Debord ldquoWizard People Dear Readerrdquo (2004) by Brad Neely Exit through the Gift Shoprdquo (2010) by Paranoid Pictures and ldquoThe Sa-ranay Motelrdquo (2005) a trailer by El-liott Earls

Robert Petersen a professor of art history presented each film The instructor has done much re-search on deacutetournement as an art form

Deacutetournement involves the cap-turing of various images and clips turning them around as a new pre-sentation

Petersen co-curated the film ex-hibition along with Stephen Eskil-son who is also an art history pro-fessor at Eastern

ldquoThese films represent a very in-fluential idea in mass media and popular culture todayrdquo Peterson said

Petersen explained that while s tar t ing as pol i t ica l ar t move-ment many artists use these films as means to alter mass media cre-ations

According to Eskilson the cho-sen films are important because they give understanding to the goal of Deacutetournement

ldquoExit through the Gift Shoprdquo is the best known of the films pre-sented The film is a documentary about the notorious London graffiti artist known as Banksy Along with positive reviews this film has been nominated for many awards

Eskilson also explained the film would be the main feature and would be entertaining to students

During the showing the crowd laughed and seemed to find ldquoWiz-ard People Dear Readrsquo the most entertaining of the films

The film showed clips of ldquoHarry Potter and the Sorcerersrsquo Stonerdquo as the audio was cut and taken over by sarcastic and humorous narration

Sherece Street senior family and consumer sciences major said that Deacutetournement Film Night was well set up Although she attended for a course she was very happy to have attended

ldquoI liked the lsquoWizard People Dear Readerrsquo because it was hilariousrdquo Street said ldquolsquoExit through the Gift Shoprsquo was very interesting as wellrdquo

Films presented at Tarble Arts

Rozek said the people of Jeopar-dy paid for her flight hotel room that slept up to four people and a stipend of $670 Rozek said the majority of her stipend went to cab fare after being in Los Angeles for three days filming two of those days

Toward the end of the program Rozek waved and mouthed ldquoHi momrdquo to the camera since her mom did not come with her to film the show

ldquoIrsquom from the area so Irsquom invested in this community on a deep level I have kids that attend schools in our dis-trict and I want to see continual change toward putting an end to sexual vio-lencerdquo Walters said

On Jan 1 Walters started her first day as the SACIS director and de-scribed her job as challenging but ex-citing at the same time

ldquoItrsquos a little bit exciting and a little bit anxiety provoking because there is a lot to it but I really enjoy working for the agencyrdquo Walters said ldquoI feel very pas-sionate about SACIS and the SACIS mission so I feel challenged in a very good wayrdquo

Currently Buckley is helping Walters through the transition period of being the new SACIS director

Walters said Buckley is guiding her through the new procedures and some of the financial aspects of the job

ldquoAt some point in time I will be able to kind of make some things a little bit my own but she has a really good foundation for everything so thatrsquos

made an easy transitionrdquo Walters said Walterrsquos new job position requires

grant writing networking office man-agement and financial and budget re-sponsibilities

ldquoThere is the key aspect that is still working with clients I still do advoca-cy I still might work with clients on one basis or another and thatrsquos really important to me and thatrsquos something I enjoy continuing onrdquo Walters said

SACIS was founded in 1977 and provides free confidential services that are available to anyone no matter when the time limit of the violence occurred

SACIS provides services for chil-dren all the way up to senior citizens They cover a wide service area which includes Coles Cumberland and parts of Clark County

ldquoThe SACIS mission is really to do our best to put an end to sexual vio-lence through advocacy prevention and educationrdquo she said

Walters said she wants to make sure that people in the community have a place to go for these types of services

ldquoWe just want to be the people that they can talk to We want to be there to empower them throughout the process of healingrdquo Walters said

Because registrations are recorded in a database the State would already be aware of the late registration he said

ldquo(The) UPD would attempt to get them registered and forward the infor-mation regarding the failure of the of-fender to register as requiredrdquo Due said

Depending on the level of severity Due said some offenders are required to register for the rest of their lives

Taylor Gutierrez a freshman com-munication disorders and sciences ma-jor said it never crossed her mind that people in her classes could be sex of-fenders

ldquoI think they should have to regis-ter so people can know where they arerdquo Gutierrez said ldquoItrsquos a good ideardquo

Gutierrez said she thinks the registra-tion is a great first step but another step to preventing sexual assault is for people to be aware of their surroundings

ldquoI make sure Irsquom not on my iPod and I try to be more aware of my sur-roundingsrdquo Gutierrez said

It is about being practical she saidErin Walters the executive director

of the Sexual Assault Counseling and Informative Services is in favor of the newly enacted law

There can never be enough avenues to track or keep track of offenders liv-ing on or around campus Walters said

ldquoIn many ways the university is somewhat separate from the general registration processrdquo she said ldquoI think this is a really great way to streamline all of the registry informationrdquo

Jill Radecki a sophomore sociology major said she thinks the registry is a good idea so students will be aware of potential dangers on campus

Radecki said she sees having to regis-ter with the police department as more than just a safety precaution

ldquoItrsquos a part of the punishment be-cause itrsquos like they are going to have to live with what they did and other peo-ple will knowrdquo she said

Chloe Lampo a sophomore busi-ness major said she is appreciates Illi-nois implementing this new law

Lampo also said she is not in agree-ment with the laws definition of a sex offender

ldquoIf theyrsquore a violent sex offender then thatrsquos goodmdashbut depending on the sit-uation I could go either wayrdquo Lampo said

While looking on the UPDrsquos website for parking passes Lampo said she end-ed up finding a website searching for sex offenders in Charleston

ldquoI was surprised by how many peo-ple offenders there were in the areardquo she said

According to familywatchdogus there are 16 sex offenders in Charles-ton but the Illinois State Policersquos web-site depicts the presence of 35 known offenders

Forty-six percent of rapists who were released from prison were re-arrested within 3 years of their release for anoth-er crime according to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network

Walters agrees with RAINNrsquos re-ports

ldquoI think if someone has been con-victed of sexually abusing or sexually assaulting someone in the past than the likelihood of re-offending is very highrdquo Walters said

Lampo said she has a friend who has to register as a sex offender even though she does not consider him a ldquopredatorrdquo

Due said the UPD has three-tiered approach to crime prevention en-forcement and education

The UPD has the Rape Aggres-sion Defense system on Fridays Sat-urdays and Sundays a womenrsquos only appointed necessary self-defense pro-gram where students will be taught tac-tics and techniques to defend them-selves

ldquoWe realized that each woman must decide if she will fight back but we can at least teach them how to do sordquo Due said ldquoThe program also covers safety information how to avoid bad situa-tions and some legal aspects of self-de-fenserdquo

the slow pace of the game hurt the Pan-thers offensive attack

Head coach Mike Miller said the Panthers did not shoot too poorly but there were just not that many shots in the game overall

ldquoItrsquos a grind out low possession gamerdquo Miller said ldquoUnfortunately we went through a stretch in the second half where we had a couple turnovers and (Eastern Kentucky) made a cou-ple shots and that probably cost us the gamerdquo

Granger was the only Panther to score in double-figures with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting

The Colonels were led by Jones with 12 points and DiNunno with 11

with the loss but he thinks they gave a good effort in the game

A critical 11-0 Eastern Kentucky run in a low scoring game with East-ernrsquos menrsquos basketball team was all the Colonels needed for a 47-43 victory over the Panthers on Thursday

Lantz Arena did not have much to cheer about except its team was in the lead at halftime 18-16 Although the game was not a fanrsquos dream or even a playerrsquos for that matter the teams battled in a close Ohio Valley Conference game

The Panthers went on a 10-4 run to open the second half and led 28-20 with 15 minutes left in the game The game would go back and forth for the next few minutes with East-ern maintaining control of the score-board

Down 33-27 Eastern Kentucky guard Mike DiNunno hit a jumper that catapulted the Colonels run Af-ter a three-point shot by guard Josh-ua Jones the guard cut to the bas-ket and converted on the gamersquos only lead change The run ended when an alley-oop pass was dunked by East-ernrsquos red-shirt junior forward James Hollowell The score was 38-35 and Eastern Kentucky never looked back

The Colonels slowed the pace of the game down with a deliberate of-fensive attack and the use of multiple zones on defense

Eastern Kentucky held a 44-37 lead with a minute remaining in the game and the Panthers did every-thing they could to come back but in the end the deficit was too large

Eastern lost its seventh consec-utive game 47-43 and falls to 9-13 overall and 2-8 in the OVC while Eastern Kentucky improves to 6-5 in conference play and 13-11

As the Super Bowl nears students are gathering their snacks and friends together while rooting for their favor-ite teams

Chris Wojtysiak assistant director of Thomas Hall Dining said Thomas Dining Hall will host the Super Bowl party for the first time

He said it will be a good oppor-tunity to put on a student-friendly event

ldquoSince wersquore open wersquoll serve our Super Bowl menu as well as late-night pizzardquo Wojtysiak said ldquoWersquoll be able to have the entire game onrdquo

Wojtysiak said the menu will in-clude a build-your-own nacho bar hot dogs pizza slices chips and dip as well as the sandwich line being open

He said he expects a better turnout since it will be in Thomas instead of Taylor where the party had been held in previous years because students will be able to enjoy the entire game

Students can also enjoy the game by hosting their own gatherings

George Jones a sophomore geog-raphy major said before attending Eastern for him the Super Bowl was

more of a family tradition He said in years past he would in-

vite three or four friends over to watch the game with him and they would order pizza

He said he always felt like watch-ing the game felt like an American tra-dition

ldquoThe Super Bowl is always fun Itrsquos one of Americarsquos valuesrdquo Jones said ldquoEveryone in the world comes togeth-errdquo

Jones said this year he is watching the game at the Newman Center and favors the New York Giants to win

ldquoI love their style of play They like to get after the quarterback on de-fenserdquo Jones said ldquoIrsquom expecting a close gamerdquo

Brandal Miles a junior kinesiology major said last yearrsquos Super Bowl was especially important to him

ldquoIrsquom a Packers fan and everyone else didnrsquot want them to winrdquo Miles said

Miles said this yearrsquos game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham-pions

Before coming to Eastern Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri-

or to the game He said depending on who hosts the game each year would be different

ldquoWe would switch things up every yearrdquo Miles said

Miles said he and his family would cook things like nachos salads chick-en and Chinese food

Kevin Pranevicius a senior history major said he gets together with his friends and to him the Super Bowl is

a major deal He said he plans on watching the

pre-game coverage He added that the commercials every year are one of the factors that kept him watching the game

ldquoItrsquos always worth itrdquo Pranevicius said

Pranevicius said the right menu is crucial on Super Bowl Sunday

Overall Pranevicius said the Super

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

By Ethan Stephenson Verge Reporter

At 11 years old many young aspir-ing artists would not dream of having their work displayed publicly

However Olivia Standefer has al-ready obtained this goal by becoming the youngest artist to display work as Jackson Avenue Coffeersquos (JAC) featured artist of the month

Standefer of Marshall Ill will display 25 original paintings for the duration of the month of February

Though young Standefer said she is no stranger to the art world She has participated in at least a half-dozen group art showings including shows in Charleston and The Facto-ry Art Studios in Sullivan

Standefer said however this will be her first individual showcase in which she will be presenting what she calls ldquosplatter paintingsrdquo

She said she began painting sun-sets several years ago but as her fa-ther Jim Standefer suggests her passion for painting came much earlier

ldquoShe has always loved colorsrdquo he said

Taking only two introductory art lessons Standefer said that she real-ly developed her skills on her own

and was encouraged by a former tutor

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

opening of her workHe said further details about the

opening will be announced at a later date and will be displayed at JAC

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

and improvise over itrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos always the same music recipe but I like to make it feel right and how I like itrdquo

One argument that is sure to become a com-mon theme of the 2012 presidential election will be over President Obamarsquos influence on our recovery from the economic recession The current popular form that conservatives like to use is that Obama continues to pass off blame for the economy onto his predecessor President Bush and seemingly take no responsibility for the fact that we still have not begun to recover our pre-recession economic status

This argument has been both lampooned and bashed for its ostensible willful igno-rance of anything President Bush may have done wrong One recent example was a picture a Facebook friend of mine shared recently out of amusement that said blaming Obama over Bush for the economy was equivalent to ldquotrash-ing your apartment and then yelling at your roommate when he comes in and tries to clean the messrdquo

Joke taken but I think what has been lost in the whirl of our short-term-memory political discourse is the long-term effects presidential policy have beyond their relatively short four- to eight-year terms

I am willing to admit that Bush made a huge mistake by driving up federal spending and not doing much to stem the rise of the national debt While some of the specifics of Bushrsquos role in creating the recession are debatable it is gen-erally easy to tell that a focus on national de-fensemdashour military operations in Iraq and Af-ghanistanmdashtook time (and money) away from

other important domestic fiscal issuesThese policy decisions played their respec-

tive roles in the economic situation that played out very late in Bushrsquos second term leaving the longer lasting effects to become obvious after Obama had taken office The question then be-comes what has President Obama done in re-lation to federal policy to help the economy get turned around

Enter the bailouts stimulus packages health care reform banking reform and arguments for increasing taxes on the rich and companies that outsource jobs Oh yeah and increased government spending and quite a bit of it in-volving the big-name efforts previously men-tioned

About a year ago an article in The Week-ly Standard by Jeffrey H Anderson detailed Obamarsquos record in regards to the federal budget and deficit After differentiating between what could be credited as money Bush spent versus what Obama spent Anderson calculated that Obama was responsible for $44 trillion in ac-

tual or projected deficit spending after three years in office

Citing the White House Office of Manage-ment and Budget Obamarsquos deficit spending is 37 percent higher than President Bushrsquos record of $32 trillion in deficit spending over eight years in office leaving Obamarsquos average annu-al deficit spending with a 97 percent share of our gross domestic product To put this in per-spective this is higher than the federal deficitrsquos share of our economic output during World War II or the respective terms of President Rea-gan George HW Bush or George W Bush

So what do all these numbers mean in re-gards to long-term economic effects Well for one our national debt is getting massively out of hand even more so than it has in the past creating a situation that affects this current generation and those that follow

Moreover a federal deficit prevents us from even paying the off the interest on our national debt perpetuating the issue of how to balance the budget thereby raising the specter of taxes and spending cuts no one wants to make

Speaking as lucidly as possible Obamarsquos long-term effect on the economy will probably be more profound than any of his predecessors and more damaging to all of us in the long run

To professorxeiueduFrom luvdaladyzhotmailcomSubject Whats the dealHey I need the hw for wednesday im in your eng-

lish class but I missed it cuz I had a crazy weekend lol jk ) did you guys do anything Are there notes I can get them I canrsquot fail this class My bad Later DJ

Pity the poor professors They get a lot of these emails Email is here to stay and for the most part that is a good thing But with these new pow-ers come new responsibilities We talked to some professors and read their blog posts on the topic One of the best of those is from English professor Michael Leddy who wrote about this on his blog mleddyblogspotcom

Bad student emails tend to fail in at least one of three capacities information literacy and tone

Information This is probably the most com-mon flaw in student emails The student wants information but doesnrsquot provide any Professors have lots of students in lots of classes Donrsquot expect them to remember your nickname or what class you are in It might be your only English class but as Leddy points out an English professor teach-es nothing but English classes Put your name and course number in the email preferably in the sub-ject line

Use your university email not your person-al account It is more professional and will get through spam filters Know what you are asking for and be clear and concise Donrsquot ask for notes if you missed class get them from a classmate You should check the syllabus to get an idea of what you missed but therersquos nothing wrong with asking if anything else was covered or assigned

Literacy Itrsquos one thing to show the world you canrsquot bother to correctly capitalize punctuate or spell over Facebook Itrsquos another thing to show your professor you lack basic writing skills Donrsquot abbreviate Use spell-check and proofread your email before pressing ldquosendrdquo We suggest reading the email aloud

Tone Some of this is common sense Donrsquot be rude crude or presumptuous Politely ask for what you want donrsquot demand it Donrsquot ask if you missed anything ask what you missed Your teach-er knows you want a good grade mentioning it undermines the purpose of the class (ie to learn stuff) Be professional Ditch the ldquololsrdquo and emoti-consmdashtextese isnrsquot considered a formal language in the academic world

Greetings and salutations are a bit trickier We think ldquoHeyrdquo is rude and ldquoDearrdquo is weird There is debate over the preferable honorific Mr Mrs and Ms should be avoided Dr isnrsquot perfectmdashsome like it some donrsquot some donrsquot have a doctorate That said some professors are horrified if you donrsquot acknowledge their doctorate immediately The saf-est bet is ldquoHelloHi professor Xrdquo

Likewise salutations should be considerate ldquoSincerelyrdquo ldquoBest wishesrdquo and ldquoWarmest regardsrdquo are all a bit too much We think ldquoThanksThank yourdquo is almost always appropriate Whatever you choose put your full name on the bottom includ-ing your course number if you didnrsquot mention it earlier

Email can be a blessing for students and pro-fessors But some things should be talked about in person so donrsquot hesitate to visit your professor dur-ing office hours Professors arenrsquot off the hook though Wersquoll address their mistakes on Monday

Charleston staples falling victim to bad economyIn nearly three years as an Eastern student I

have seen Charlestonrsquos staple restaurants simply vanish into thin air I simplified this into a trend of restaurants and bars that have opened and closed at the snap of someonersquos fingers

I think the economy is partly responsible for lowering demand for such places and because of students not really being interested in new places popping up out of nowhere

It is a given trend of popular thought that college students are poor and go out to eat less than they normally would This may be so I have observed students sticking to either the University Union or the dining centers for their meals in order to save money

From a self-observation standpoint I saw myself going out to eat more but now I am get-ting used to the dining halls again

Now Irsquom not against a town opening up a new restaurant to distinguish itself from other surrounding towns but from what I have seen unless yoursquore a chain or a town staple a restau-rant or bar has little chance to survive and here is why I think so

Town staples feel familiar to peopleWhen I first came to Eastern I had minimal

knowledge of where to go out to eat at least on the weekends As I became familiar with the Charleston setting I picked up knowledge of where to go

In the nearly three years I have been a student

here I have seen places like Boxa disappear into thin air and I wondered two things First why did I never eat there when it was in town espe-cially hearing how good it was Second why did it close despite it being a good restaurant

Hearing these stories from my cousin a for-mer Eastern student I would think a place like Boxa would still be around today especial-ly with it becoming a part of the townrsquos person-ality

Another placemdashalthough I thought was just a chain restaurant at first it actually started in Charlestonmdashis Jimmy Johnrsquos

Since 1983 Jimmy Johnrsquos has proudly served the Eastern community its finest sandwich-es and has grown from a simple sandwich shop into a chain conglomerate while still holding on to its university roots (which is why I do not consider Jimmy Johnrsquos to be a chain conglomer-ate though technically it is)

I wonder at times why some places like

Boxa are considered semi-staples and yet still get shut down To me it does not seem fair es-pecially because I never gave myself the chance to eat there

Could it be that the downed economy is forc-ing the rent on the buildings to go up thus forcing restaurant and bar owners to mass-pro-duce to pay such high rents among other fees

Is it the simple yet opinionated reality that new restaurants going up against town staples have little or no chance of survival especial-ly when students may not always have the mon-ey to go out

Chain restaurant supremacyI have never considered the ratio of chain res-

taurants to town restaurants but maybe it is time I think about it

To me and maybe most students fast food is good food While not always the case it is in my mind a good argument because when wersquore hungry we can become impatient and not want to wait 10 or 15 minutes plus delivery time to get a pizza that at times does not taste like it costs $5 $10 or $15

In my mind and the minds of many people you get what you pay for If you want a $15 piz-za it should at least taste like a $15 pizza

Deacutetournement involves the cap-turing of various images and clips turning them around as a new pre-sentation

Petersen co-curated the film ex-hibition along with Stephen Eskil-son who is also an art history pro-fessor at Eastern

ldquoThese films represent a very in-fluential idea in mass media and popular culture todayrdquo Peterson said

Petersen explained that while s tar t ing as pol i t ica l ar t move-ment many artists use these films as means to alter mass media cre-ations

According to Eskilson the cho-sen films are important because they give understanding to the goal of Deacutetournement

ldquoExit through the Gift Shoprdquo is the best known of the films pre-sented The film is a documentary about the notorious London graffiti artist known as Banksy Along with positive reviews this film has been nominated for many awards

Eskilson also explained the film would be the main feature and would be entertaining to students

During the showing the crowd laughed and seemed to find ldquoWiz-ard People Dear Readrsquo the most entertaining of the films

The film showed clips of ldquoHarry Potter and the Sorcerersrsquo Stonerdquo as the audio was cut and taken over by sarcastic and humorous narration

Sherece Street senior family and consumer sciences major said that Deacutetournement Film Night was well set up Although she attended for a course she was very happy to have attended

ldquoI liked the lsquoWizard People Dear Readerrsquo because it was hilariousrdquo Street said ldquolsquoExit through the Gift Shoprsquo was very interesting as wellrdquo

ldquoIrsquom from the area so Irsquom invested in this community on a deep level I have kids that attend schools in our dis-trict and I want to see continual change toward putting an end to sexual vio-lencerdquo Walters said

On Jan 1 Walters started her first day as the SACIS director and de-scribed her job as challenging but ex-citing at the same time

ldquoItrsquos a little bit exciting and a little bit anxiety provoking because there is a lot to it but I really enjoy working for the agencyrdquo Walters said ldquoI feel very pas-sionate about SACIS and the SACIS mission so I feel challenged in a very good wayrdquo

Currently Buckley is helping Walters through the transition period of being the new SACIS director

Walters said Buckley is guiding her through the new procedures and some of the financial aspects of the job

ldquoAt some point in time I will be able to kind of make some things a little bit my own but she has a really good foundation for everything so thatrsquos

made an easy transitionrdquo Walters said Walterrsquos new job position requires

grant writing networking office man-agement and financial and budget re-sponsibilities

ldquoThere is the key aspect that is still working with clients I still do advoca-cy I still might work with clients on one basis or another and thatrsquos really important to me and thatrsquos something I enjoy continuing onrdquo Walters said

SACIS was founded in 1977 and provides free confidential services that are available to anyone no matter when the time limit of the violence occurred

SACIS provides services for chil-dren all the way up to senior citizens They cover a wide service area which includes Coles Cumberland and parts of Clark County

ldquoThe SACIS mission is really to do our best to put an end to sexual vio-lence through advocacy prevention and educationrdquo she said

Walters said she wants to make sure that people in the community have a place to go for these types of services

ldquoWe just want to be the people that they can talk to We want to be there to empower them throughout the process of healingrdquo Walters said

Because registrations are recorded in a database the State would already be aware of the late registration he said

ldquo(The) UPD would attempt to get them registered and forward the infor-mation regarding the failure of the of-fender to register as requiredrdquo Due said

Depending on the level of severity Due said some offenders are required to register for the rest of their lives

Taylor Gutierrez a freshman com-munication disorders and sciences ma-jor said it never crossed her mind that people in her classes could be sex of-fenders

ldquoI think they should have to regis-ter so people can know where they arerdquo Gutierrez said ldquoItrsquos a good ideardquo

Gutierrez said she thinks the registra-tion is a great first step but another step to preventing sexual assault is for people to be aware of their surroundings

ldquoI make sure Irsquom not on my iPod and I try to be more aware of my sur-roundingsrdquo Gutierrez said

It is about being practical she saidErin Walters the executive director

of the Sexual Assault Counseling and Informative Services is in favor of the newly enacted law

There can never be enough avenues to track or keep track of offenders liv-ing on or around campus Walters said

ldquoIn many ways the university is somewhat separate from the general registration processrdquo she said ldquoI think this is a really great way to streamline all of the registry informationrdquo

Jill Radecki a sophomore sociology major said she thinks the registry is a good idea so students will be aware of potential dangers on campus

Radecki said she sees having to regis-ter with the police department as more than just a safety precaution

ldquoItrsquos a part of the punishment be-cause itrsquos like they are going to have to live with what they did and other peo-ple will knowrdquo she said

Chloe Lampo a sophomore busi-ness major said she is appreciates Illi-nois implementing this new law

Lampo also said she is not in agree-ment with the laws definition of a sex offender

ldquoIf theyrsquore a violent sex offender then thatrsquos goodmdashbut depending on the sit-uation I could go either wayrdquo Lampo said

While looking on the UPDrsquos website for parking passes Lampo said she end-ed up finding a website searching for sex offenders in Charleston

ldquoI was surprised by how many peo-ple offenders there were in the areardquo she said

According to familywatchdogus there are 16 sex offenders in Charles-ton but the Illinois State Policersquos web-site depicts the presence of 35 known offenders

Forty-six percent of rapists who were released from prison were re-arrested within 3 years of their release for anoth-er crime according to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network

Walters agrees with RAINNrsquos re-ports

ldquoI think if someone has been con-victed of sexually abusing or sexually assaulting someone in the past than the likelihood of re-offending is very highrdquo Walters said

Lampo said she has a friend who has to register as a sex offender even though she does not consider him a ldquopredatorrdquo

Due said the UPD has three-tiered approach to crime prevention en-forcement and education

The UPD has the Rape Aggres-sion Defense system on Fridays Sat-urdays and Sundays a womenrsquos only appointed necessary self-defense pro-gram where students will be taught tac-tics and techniques to defend them-selves

ldquoWe realized that each woman must decide if she will fight back but we can at least teach them how to do sordquo Due said ldquoThe program also covers safety information how to avoid bad situa-tions and some legal aspects of self-de-fenserdquo

RUN from page 8Senior guard Jeremy Granger said

the slow pace of the game hurt the Pan-thers offensive attack

Head coach Mike Miller said the Panthers did not shoot too poorly but there were just not that many shots in the game overall

ldquoItrsquos a grind out low possession gamerdquo Miller said ldquoUnfortunately we went through a stretch in the second half where we had a couple turnovers and (Eastern Kentucky) made a cou-ple shots and that probably cost us the gamerdquo

Granger was the only Panther to score in double-figures with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting

The Colonels were led by Jones with 12 points and DiNunno with 11

points Miller said the team is disappointed

with the loss but he thinks they gave a good effort in the game

ldquoNo matter the style of this game we told our guys we had to find a way to winrdquo Miller said ldquo(Our team) tried to do that They had a couple shots that didnrsquot go and (Eastern Kentucky) got a couple to go and that decided itrdquo

Second half run gives Eastern Kentucky victory

MIR ANDA PLOSS | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSMenrsquos basketball coach Mike Miller uses a timeout to go over a play with senior forward Zavier Sanders Thursday during the Panthersrsquo 47-43 loss to Eastern Kentucky in Lantz Arena The Panthers have lost seven straight taking a 9-13 record into their next game Saturday against Morehead State at 7 pm at home

KIMBERLY FOSTER | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSJunior forward Sydney Mitchell is fouled by Southeast Missouri senior guard Bian-ca Beck Wednesday during the Panthers 74-48 home win against the Redhawks in Lantz Arena The Panthers are 10-0 on the season at home with an overall 18-4 record

By Rob Mortell Staff Report

A critical 11-0 Eastern Kentucky run in a low scoring game with East-ernrsquos menrsquos basketball team was all the Colonels needed for a 47-43 victory over the Panthers on Thursday

Lantz Arena did not have much to cheer about except its team was in the lead at halftime 18-16 Although the game was not a fanrsquos dream or even a playerrsquos for that matter the teams battled in a close Ohio Valley Conference game

The Panthers went on a 10-4 run to open the second half and led 28-20 with 15 minutes left in the game The game would go back and forth for the next few minutes with East-ern maintaining control of the score-board

Down 33-27 Eastern Kentucky guard Mike DiNunno hit a jumper that catapulted the Colonels run Af-ter a three-point shot by guard Josh-ua Jones the guard cut to the bas-ket and converted on the gamersquos only lead change The run ended when an alley-oop pass was dunked by East-ernrsquos red-shirt junior forward James Hollowell The score was 38-35 and Eastern Kentucky never looked back

The Colonels slowed the pace of the game down with a deliberate of-fensive attack and the use of multiple zones on defense

Eastern Kentucky held a 44-37 lead with a minute remaining in the game and the Panthers did every-thing they could to come back but in the end the deficit was too large

Eastern lost its seventh consec-utive game 47-43 and falls to 9-13 overall and 2-8 in the OVC while Eastern Kentucky improves to 6-5 in conference play and 13-11

Losing streak extends to 7

As the Super Bowl nears students are gathering their snacks and friends together while rooting for their favor-ite teams

Chris Wojtysiak assistant director of Thomas Hall Dining said Thomas Dining Hall will host the Super Bowl party for the first time

He said it will be a good oppor-tunity to put on a student-friendly event

ldquoSince wersquore open wersquoll serve our Super Bowl menu as well as late-night pizzardquo Wojtysiak said ldquoWersquoll be able to have the entire game onrdquo

Wojtysiak said the menu will in-clude a build-your-own nacho bar hot dogs pizza slices chips and dip as well as the sandwich line being open

He said he expects a better turnout since it will be in Thomas instead of Taylor where the party had been held in previous years because students will be able to enjoy the entire game

Students can also enjoy the game by hosting their own gatherings

George Jones a sophomore geog-raphy major said before attending Eastern for him the Super Bowl was

more of a family tradition He said in years past he would in-

vite three or four friends over to watch the game with him and they would order pizza

He said he always felt like watch-ing the game felt like an American tra-dition

ldquoThe Super Bowl is always fun Itrsquos one of Americarsquos valuesrdquo Jones said ldquoEveryone in the world comes togeth-errdquo

Jones said this year he is watching the game at the Newman Center and favors the New York Giants to win

ldquoI love their style of play They like to get after the quarterback on de-fenserdquo Jones said ldquoIrsquom expecting a close gamerdquo

Brandal Miles a junior kinesiology major said last yearrsquos Super Bowl was especially important to him

ldquoIrsquom a Packers fan and everyone else didnrsquot want them to winrdquo Miles said

Miles said this yearrsquos game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham-pions

Before coming to Eastern Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri-

or to the game He said depending on who hosts the game each year would be different

ldquoWe would switch things up every yearrdquo Miles said

Miles said he and his family would cook things like nachos salads chick-en and Chinese food

Kevin Pranevicius a senior history major said he gets together with his friends and to him the Super Bowl is

a major deal He said he plans on watching the

pre-game coverage He added that the commercials every year are one of the factors that kept him watching the game

ldquoItrsquos always worth itrdquo Pranevicius said

Pranevicius said the right menu is crucial on Super Bowl Sunday

Overall Pranevicius said the Super

Bowl is always important to him ev-ery year

ldquoI make a big event out of itrdquo Pran-evicius said ldquoItrsquos a holiday and a big part of our livesrdquo

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

At 11 years old many young aspir-ing artists would not dream of having their work displayed publicly

However Olivia Standefer has al-ready obtained this goal by becoming the youngest artist to display work as Jackson Avenue Coffeersquos (JAC) featured artist of the month

Standefer of Marshall Ill will display 25 original paintings for the duration of the month of February

Though young Standefer said she is no stranger to the art world She has participated in at least a half-dozen group art showings including shows in Charleston and The Facto-ry Art Studios in Sullivan

Standefer said however this will be her first individual showcase in which she will be presenting what she calls ldquosplatter paintingsrdquo

She said she began painting sun-sets several years ago but as her fa-ther Jim Standefer suggests her passion for painting came much earlier

ldquoShe has always loved colorsrdquo he said

Taking only two introductory art lessons Standefer said that she real-ly developed her skills on her own

and was encouraged by a former tutor

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

opening of her workHe said further details about the

opening will be announced at a later date and will be displayed at JAC

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

and improvise over itrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos always the same music recipe but I like to make it feel right and how I like itrdquo

SACIS from page 1

By Ashleigh Owens Staff Reporter

A showcase of several films was presented to the public at the Tar-ble Arts Center Thursday for the Deacutetournement Film Night

The showing included ldquoLa so-cieacuteteacute du spectaclerdquo (1973) by Guy Debord ldquoWizard People Dear Readerrdquo (2004) by Brad Neely Exit through the Gift Shoprdquo (2010) by Paranoid Pictures and ldquoThe Sa-ranay Motelrdquo (2005) a trailer by El-liott Earls

Robert Petersen a professor of art history presented each film The instructor has done much re-search on deacutetournement as an art form

Deacutetournement involves the cap-turing of various images and clips turning them around as a new pre-sentation

Petersen co-curated the film ex-hibition along with Stephen Eskil-son who is also an art history pro-fessor at Eastern

ldquoThese films represent a very in-fluential idea in mass media and popular culture todayrdquo Peterson said

Petersen explained that while s tar t ing as pol i t ica l ar t move-ment many artists use these films as means to alter mass media cre-ations

According to Eskilson the cho-sen films are important because they give understanding to the goal of Deacutetournement

ldquoExit through the Gift Shoprdquo is the best known of the films pre-sented The film is a documentary about the notorious London graffiti artist known as Banksy Along with positive reviews this film has been nominated for many awards

Eskilson also explained the film would be the main feature and would be entertaining to students

During the showing the crowd laughed and seemed to find ldquoWiz-ard People Dear Readrsquo the most entertaining of the films

The film showed clips of ldquoHarry Potter and the Sorcerersrsquo Stonerdquo as the audio was cut and taken over by sarcastic and humorous narration

Sherece Street senior family and consumer sciences major said that Deacutetournement Film Night was well set up Although she attended for a course she was very happy to have attended

ldquoI liked the lsquoWizard People Dear Readerrsquo because it was hilariousrdquo Street said ldquolsquoExit through the Gift Shoprsquo was very interesting as wellrdquo

Films presented at Tarble Arts

Rozek said the people of Jeopar-dy paid for her flight hotel room that slept up to four people and a stipend of $670 Rozek said the majority of her stipend went to cab fare after being in Los Angeles for three days filming two of those days

Toward the end of the program Rozek waved and mouthed ldquoHi momrdquo to the camera since her mom did not come with her to film the show

ldquoIrsquom from the area so Irsquom invested in this community on a deep level I have kids that attend schools in our dis-trict and I want to see continual change toward putting an end to sexual vio-lencerdquo Walters said

On Jan 1 Walters started her first day as the SACIS director and de-scribed her job as challenging but ex-citing at the same time

ldquoItrsquos a little bit exciting and a little bit anxiety provoking because there is a lot to it but I really enjoy working for the agencyrdquo Walters said ldquoI feel very pas-sionate about SACIS and the SACIS mission so I feel challenged in a very good wayrdquo

Currently Buckley is helping Walters through the transition period of being the new SACIS director

Walters said Buckley is guiding her through the new procedures and some of the financial aspects of the job

ldquoAt some point in time I will be able to kind of make some things a little bit my own but she has a really good foundation for everything so thatrsquos

made an easy transitionrdquo Walters said Walterrsquos new job position requires

grant writing networking office man-agement and financial and budget re-sponsibilities

ldquoThere is the key aspect that is still working with clients I still do advoca-cy I still might work with clients on one basis or another and thatrsquos really important to me and thatrsquos something I enjoy continuing onrdquo Walters said

SACIS was founded in 1977 and provides free confidential services that are available to anyone no matter when the time limit of the violence occurred

SACIS provides services for chil-dren all the way up to senior citizens They cover a wide service area which includes Coles Cumberland and parts of Clark County

ldquoThe SACIS mission is really to do our best to put an end to sexual vio-lence through advocacy prevention and educationrdquo she said

Walters said she wants to make sure that people in the community have a place to go for these types of services

ldquoWe just want to be the people that they can talk to We want to be there to empower them throughout the process of healingrdquo Walters said

Because registrations are recorded in a database the State would already be aware of the late registration he said

ldquo(The) UPD would attempt to get them registered and forward the infor-mation regarding the failure of the of-fender to register as requiredrdquo Due said

Depending on the level of severity Due said some offenders are required to register for the rest of their lives

Taylor Gutierrez a freshman com-munication disorders and sciences ma-jor said it never crossed her mind that people in her classes could be sex of-fenders

ldquoI think they should have to regis-ter so people can know where they arerdquo Gutierrez said ldquoItrsquos a good ideardquo

Gutierrez said she thinks the registra-tion is a great first step but another step to preventing sexual assault is for people to be aware of their surroundings

ldquoI make sure Irsquom not on my iPod and I try to be more aware of my sur-roundingsrdquo Gutierrez said

It is about being practical she saidErin Walters the executive director

of the Sexual Assault Counseling and Informative Services is in favor of the newly enacted law

There can never be enough avenues to track or keep track of offenders liv-ing on or around campus Walters said

ldquoIn many ways the university is somewhat separate from the general registration processrdquo she said ldquoI think this is a really great way to streamline all of the registry informationrdquo

Jill Radecki a sophomore sociology major said she thinks the registry is a good idea so students will be aware of potential dangers on campus

Radecki said she sees having to regis-ter with the police department as more than just a safety precaution

ldquoItrsquos a part of the punishment be-cause itrsquos like they are going to have to live with what they did and other peo-ple will knowrdquo she said

Chloe Lampo a sophomore busi-ness major said she is appreciates Illi-nois implementing this new law

Lampo also said she is not in agree-ment with the laws definition of a sex offender

ldquoIf theyrsquore a violent sex offender then thatrsquos goodmdashbut depending on the sit-uation I could go either wayrdquo Lampo said

While looking on the UPDrsquos website for parking passes Lampo said she end-ed up finding a website searching for sex offenders in Charleston

ldquoI was surprised by how many peo-ple offenders there were in the areardquo she said

According to familywatchdogus there are 16 sex offenders in Charles-ton but the Illinois State Policersquos web-site depicts the presence of 35 known offenders

Forty-six percent of rapists who were released from prison were re-arrested within 3 years of their release for anoth-er crime according to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network

Walters agrees with RAINNrsquos re-ports

ldquoI think if someone has been con-victed of sexually abusing or sexually assaulting someone in the past than the likelihood of re-offending is very highrdquo Walters said

Lampo said she has a friend who has to register as a sex offender even though she does not consider him a ldquopredatorrdquo

Due said the UPD has three-tiered approach to crime prevention en-forcement and education

The UPD has the Rape Aggres-sion Defense system on Fridays Sat-urdays and Sundays a womenrsquos only appointed necessary self-defense pro-gram where students will be taught tac-tics and techniques to defend them-selves

ldquoWe realized that each woman must decide if she will fight back but we can at least teach them how to do sordquo Due said ldquoThe program also covers safety information how to avoid bad situa-tions and some legal aspects of self-de-fenserdquo

the slow pace of the game hurt the Pan-thers offensive attack

Head coach Mike Miller said the Panthers did not shoot too poorly but there were just not that many shots in the game overall

ldquoItrsquos a grind out low possession gamerdquo Miller said ldquoUnfortunately we went through a stretch in the second half where we had a couple turnovers and (Eastern Kentucky) made a cou-ple shots and that probably cost us the gamerdquo

MIR ANDA PLOSS | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSMenrsquos basketball coach Mike Miller uses a timeout to go over a play with senior forward Zavier Sanders Thursday during the Panthersrsquo 47-43 loss to Eastern Kentucky in Lantz Arena The Panthers have lost seven straight taking a 9-13 record into their next game Saturday against Morehead State at 7 pm at home

By Rob Mortell Staff Report

A critical 11-0 Eastern Kentucky run in a low scoring game with East-ernrsquos menrsquos basketball team was all the Colonels needed for a 47-43 victory over the Panthers on Thursday

Lantz Arena did not have much to cheer about except its team was in the lead at halftime 18-16 Although the game was not a fanrsquos dream or even a playerrsquos for that matter the teams battled in a close Ohio Valley Conference game

The Panthers went on a 10-4 run to open the second half and led 28-20 with 15 minutes left in the game The game would go back and forth for the next few minutes with East-ern maintaining control of the score-board

Down 33-27 Eastern Kentucky guard Mike DiNunno hit a jumper that catapulted the Colonels run Af-ter a three-point shot by guard Josh-ua Jones the guard cut to the bas-ket and converted on the gamersquos only lead change The run ended when an alley-oop pass was dunked by East-ernrsquos red-shirt junior forward James Hollowell The score was 38-35 and Eastern Kentucky never looked back

The Colonels slowed the pace of the game down with a deliberate of-fensive attack and the use of multiple zones on defense

Eastern Kentucky held a 44-37 lead with a minute remaining in the game and the Panthers did every-thing they could to come back but in the end the deficit was too large

Eastern lost its seventh consec-utive game 47-43 and falls to 9-13 overall and 2-8 in the OVC while Eastern Kentucky improves to 6-5 in conference play and 13-11

Losing streak extends to 7

As the Super Bowl nears students are gathering their snacks and friends together while rooting for their favor-ite teams

Chris Wojtysiak assistant director of Thomas Hall Dining said Thomas Dining Hall will host the Super Bowl party for the first time

He said it will be a good oppor-tunity to put on a student-friendly event

ldquoSince wersquore open wersquoll serve our Super Bowl menu as well as late-night pizzardquo Wojtysiak said ldquoWersquoll be able to have the entire game onrdquo

Wojtysiak said the menu will in-clude a build-your-own nacho bar hot dogs pizza slices chips and dip as well as the sandwich line being open

He said he expects a better turnout since it will be in Thomas instead of Taylor where the party had been held in previous years because students will be able to enjoy the entire game

Students can also enjoy the game by hosting their own gatherings

George Jones a sophomore geog-raphy major said before attending Eastern for him the Super Bowl was

more of a family tradition He said in years past he would in-

vite three or four friends over to watch the game with him and they would order pizza

He said he always felt like watch-ing the game felt like an American tra-dition

ldquoThe Super Bowl is always fun Itrsquos one of Americarsquos valuesrdquo Jones said ldquoEveryone in the world comes togeth-errdquo

Jones said this year he is watching the game at the Newman Center and favors the New York Giants to win

ldquoI love their style of play They like to get after the quarterback on de-fenserdquo Jones said ldquoIrsquom expecting a close gamerdquo

Brandal Miles a junior kinesiology major said last yearrsquos Super Bowl was especially important to him

ldquoIrsquom a Packers fan and everyone else didnrsquot want them to winrdquo Miles said

Miles said this yearrsquos game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham-pions

Before coming to Eastern Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri-

or to the game He said depending on who hosts the game each year would be different

ldquoWe would switch things up every yearrdquo Miles said

Miles said he and his family would cook things like nachos salads chick-en and Chinese food

Kevin Pranevicius a senior history major said he gets together with his friends and to him the Super Bowl is

a major deal He said he plans on watching the

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

At 11 years old many young aspir-ing artists would not dream of having their work displayed publicly

However Olivia Standefer has al-ready obtained this goal by becoming the youngest artist to display work as Jackson Avenue Coffeersquos (JAC) featured artist of the month

Standefer of Marshall Ill will display 25 original paintings for the duration of the month of February

Though young Standefer said she is no stranger to the art world She has participated in at least a half-dozen group art showings including shows in Charleston and The Facto-ry Art Studios in Sullivan

Standefer said however this will be her first individual showcase in which she will be presenting what she calls ldquosplatter paintingsrdquo

She said she began painting sun-sets several years ago but as her fa-ther Jim Standefer suggests her passion for painting came much earlier

ldquoShe has always loved colorsrdquo he said

Taking only two introductory art lessons Standefer said that she real-ly developed her skills on her own

and was encouraged by a former tutor

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

opening of her workHe said further details about the

opening will be announced at a later date and will be displayed at JAC

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

and improvise over itrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos always the same music recipe but I like to make it feel right and how I like itrdquo

RUN from page 8Senior guard Jeremy Granger said

the slow pace of the game hurt the Pan-thers offensive attack

Head coach Mike Miller said the Panthers did not shoot too poorly but there were just not that many shots in the game overall

ldquoItrsquos a grind out low possession gamerdquo Miller said ldquoUnfortunately we went through a stretch in the second half where we had a couple turnovers and (Eastern Kentucky) made a cou-ple shots and that probably cost us the gamerdquo

Granger was the only Panther to score in double-figures with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting

The Colonels were led by Jones with 12 points and DiNunno with 11

points Miller said the team is disappointed

with the loss but he thinks they gave a good effort in the game

Derrick Rose scored 32 points to outduel fellow All-Star starter Car-melo Anthony and the Chicago Bulls beat the New York Knicks 105-102 Thursday night

Rose had 15 in the fourth quar-ter and repeatedly answered when the Knicks rallied With Chicago leading 88-83 midway through the final peri-od the reigning MVP scored on three straight possessions He split Antho-ny and Amare Stoudemire to flip in a shot from past the backboard then hit a 3-pointer to put the Bulls up 95-88

Stoudemire had 34 points and 11 rebounds but missed a 3-pointer that would have tied the game with 10 seconds left New York has lost 10 of 12 and now heads into its first back-to-back-to-back since 1999 with coach Mike DAntoni facing more questions about his job security New York must travel to Boston to play Friday night before returning home to face the Nets on Saturday

Second half run gives Eastern Kentucky victory

MIR ANDA PLOSS | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSMenrsquos basketball coach Mike Miller uses a timeout to go over a play with senior forward Zavier Sanders Thursday during the Panthersrsquo 47-43 loss to Eastern Kentucky in Lantz Arena The Panthers have lost seven straight taking a 9-13 record into their next game Saturday against Morehead State at 7 pm at home

KIMBERLY FOSTER | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSJunior forward Sydney Mitchell is fouled by Southeast Missouri senior guard Bian-ca Beck Wednesday during the Panthers 74-48 home win against the Redhawks in Lantz Arena The Panthers are 10-0 on the season at home with an overall 18-4 record

By Rob Mortell Staff Report

A critical 11-0 Eastern Kentucky run in a low scoring game with East-ernrsquos menrsquos basketball team was all the Colonels needed for a 47-43 victory over the Panthers on Thursday

Lantz Arena did not have much to cheer about except its team was in the lead at halftime 18-16 Although the game was not a fanrsquos dream or even a playerrsquos for that matter the teams battled in a close Ohio Valley Conference game

The Panthers went on a 10-4 run to open the second half and led 28-20 with 15 minutes left in the game The game would go back and forth for the next few minutes with East-ern maintaining control of the score-board

Down 33-27 Eastern Kentucky guard Mike DiNunno hit a jumper that catapulted the Colonels run Af-ter a three-point shot by guard Josh-ua Jones the guard cut to the bas-ket and converted on the gamersquos only lead change The run ended when an alley-oop pass was dunked by East-ernrsquos red-shirt junior forward James Hollowell The score was 38-35 and Eastern Kentucky never looked back

The Colonels slowed the pace of the game down with a deliberate of-fensive attack and the use of multiple zones on defense

Eastern Kentucky held a 44-37 lead with a minute remaining in the game and the Panthers did every-thing they could to come back but in the end the deficit was too large

Eastern lost its seventh consec-utive game 47-43 and falls to 9-13 overall and 2-8 in the OVC while Eastern Kentucky improves to 6-5 in conference play and 13-11

Losing streak extends to 7

As the Super Bowl nears students are gathering their snacks and friends together while rooting for their favor-ite teams

Chris Wojtysiak assistant director of Thomas Hall Dining said Thomas Dining Hall will host the Super Bowl party for the first time

He said it will be a good oppor-tunity to put on a student-friendly event

ldquoSince wersquore open wersquoll serve our Super Bowl menu as well as late-night pizzardquo Wojtysiak said ldquoWersquoll be able to have the entire game onrdquo

Wojtysiak said the menu will in-clude a build-your-own nacho bar hot dogs pizza slices chips and dip as well as the sandwich line being open

He said he expects a better turnout since it will be in Thomas instead of Taylor where the party had been held in previous years because students will be able to enjoy the entire game

Students can also enjoy the game by hosting their own gatherings

George Jones a sophomore geog-raphy major said before attending Eastern for him the Super Bowl was

more of a family tradition He said in years past he would in-

vite three or four friends over to watch the game with him and they would order pizza

He said he always felt like watch-ing the game felt like an American tra-dition

ldquoThe Super Bowl is always fun Itrsquos one of Americarsquos valuesrdquo Jones said ldquoEveryone in the world comes togeth-errdquo

Jones said this year he is watching the game at the Newman Center and favors the New York Giants to win

ldquoI love their style of play They like to get after the quarterback on de-fenserdquo Jones said ldquoIrsquom expecting a close gamerdquo

Brandal Miles a junior kinesiology major said last yearrsquos Super Bowl was especially important to him

ldquoIrsquom a Packers fan and everyone else didnrsquot want them to winrdquo Miles said

Miles said this yearrsquos game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham-pions

Before coming to Eastern Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri-

or to the game He said depending on who hosts the game each year would be different

ldquoWe would switch things up every yearrdquo Miles said

Miles said he and his family would cook things like nachos salads chick-en and Chinese food

Kevin Pranevicius a senior history major said he gets together with his friends and to him the Super Bowl is

a major deal He said he plans on watching the

pre-game coverage He added that the commercials every year are one of the factors that kept him watching the game

ldquoItrsquos always worth itrdquo Pranevicius said

Pranevicius said the right menu is crucial on Super Bowl Sunday

Overall Pranevicius said the Super

Bowl is always important to him ev-ery year

ldquoI make a big event out of itrdquo Pran-evicius said ldquoItrsquos a holiday and a big part of our livesrdquo

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

At 11 years old many young aspir-ing artists would not dream of having their work displayed publicly

However Olivia Standefer has al-ready obtained this goal by becoming the youngest artist to display work as Jackson Avenue Coffeersquos (JAC) featured artist of the month

Standefer of Marshall Ill will display 25 original paintings for the duration of the month of February

Though young Standefer said she is no stranger to the art world She has participated in at least a half-dozen group art showings including shows in Charleston and The Facto-ry Art Studios in Sullivan

Standefer said however this will be her first individual showcase in which she will be presenting what she calls ldquosplatter paintingsrdquo

She said she began painting sun-sets several years ago but as her fa-ther Jim Standefer suggests her passion for painting came much earlier

ldquoShe has always loved colorsrdquo he said

Taking only two introductory art lessons Standefer said that she real-ly developed her skills on her own

and was encouraged by a former tutor

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

opening of her workHe said further details about the

opening will be announced at a later date and will be displayed at JAC

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

and improvise over itrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos always the same music recipe but I like to make it feel right and how I like itrdquo

the slow pace of the game hurt the Pan-thers offensive attack

Head coach Mike Miller said the Panthers did not shoot too poorly but there were just not that many shots in the game overall

ldquoItrsquos a grind out low possession gamerdquo Miller said ldquoUnfortunately we went through a stretch in the second half where we had a couple turnovers and (Eastern Kentucky) made a cou-ple shots and that probably cost us the gamerdquo

Granger was the only Panther to score in double-figures with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting

Second half run gives Eastern Kentucky victory

MIR ANDA PLOSS | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSMenrsquos basketball coach Mike Miller uses a timeout to go over a play with senior forward Zavier Sanders Thursday during the Panthersrsquo 47-43 loss to Eastern Kentucky in Lantz Arena The Panthers have lost seven straight taking a 9-13 record into their next game Saturday against Morehead State at 7 pm at home

By Rob Mortell Staff Report

A critical 11-0 Eastern Kentucky run in a low scoring game with East-ernrsquos menrsquos basketball team was all the Colonels needed for a 47-43 victory over the Panthers on Thursday

Lantz Arena did not have much to cheer about except its team was in the lead at halftime 18-16 Although the game was not a fanrsquos dream or even a playerrsquos for that matter the teams battled in a close Ohio Valley Conference game

The Panthers went on a 10-4 run to open the second half and led 28-20 with 15 minutes left in the game The game would go back and forth for the next few minutes with East-ern maintaining control of the score-board

Down 33-27 Eastern Kentucky guard Mike DiNunno hit a jumper that catapulted the Colonels run Af-ter a three-point shot by guard Josh-ua Jones the guard cut to the bas-ket and converted on the gamersquos only lead change The run ended when an alley-oop pass was dunked by East-ernrsquos red-shirt junior forward James Hollowell The score was 38-35 and Eastern Kentucky never looked back

The Colonels slowed the pace of the game down with a deliberate of-fensive attack and the use of multiple zones on defense

Eastern Kentucky held a 44-37 lead with a minute remaining in the game and the Panthers did every-thing they could to come back but in the end the deficit was too large

Eastern lost its seventh consec-utive game 47-43 and falls to 9-13 overall and 2-8 in the OVC while Eastern Kentucky improves to 6-5 in conference play and 13-11

Losing streak extends to 7

Chris Wojtysiak assistant director of Thomas Hall Dining said Thomas Dining Hall will host the Super Bowl party for the first time

He said it will be a good oppor-tunity to put on a student-friendly event

ldquoSince wersquore open wersquoll serve our Super Bowl menu as well as late-night pizzardquo Wojtysiak said ldquoWersquoll be able to have the entire game onrdquo

Wojtysiak said the menu will in-clude a build-your-own nacho bar hot dogs pizza slices chips and dip as well as the sandwich line being open

He said he expects a better turnout since it will be in Thomas instead of Taylor where the party had been held in previous years because students will be able to enjoy the entire game

Students can also enjoy the game by hosting their own gatherings

George Jones a sophomore geog-raphy major said before attending Eastern for him the Super Bowl was

more of a family tradition He said in years past he would in-

vite three or four friends over to watch the game with him and they would order pizza

He said he always felt like watch-ing the game felt like an American tra-dition

ldquoThe Super Bowl is always fun Itrsquos one of Americarsquos valuesrdquo Jones said ldquoEveryone in the world comes togeth-errdquo

Brandal Miles a junior kinesiology major said last yearrsquos Super Bowl was especially important to him

ldquoIrsquom a Packers fan and everyone else didnrsquot want them to winrdquo Miles said

Miles said this yearrsquos game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham-pions

Before coming to Eastern Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri-

or to the game He said depending on who hosts the game each year would be different

ldquoWe would switch things up every yearrdquo Miles said

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

At 11 years old many young aspir-ing artists would not dream of having their work displayed publicly

However Olivia Standefer has al-ready obtained this goal by becoming the youngest artist to display work as Jackson Avenue Coffeersquos (JAC) featured artist of the month

Standefer of Marshall Ill will display 25 original paintings for the duration of the month of February

Though young Standefer said she is no stranger to the art world She has participated in at least a half-dozen group art showings including shows in Charleston and The Facto-ry Art Studios in Sullivan

Standefer said however this will be her first individual showcase in which she will be presenting what she calls ldquosplatter paintingsrdquo

She said she began painting sun-sets several years ago but as her fa-ther Jim Standefer suggests her passion for painting came much earlier

ldquoShe has always loved colorsrdquo he said

Taking only two introductory art lessons Standefer said that she real-ly developed her skills on her own

and was encouraged by a former tutor

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

opening of her workHe said further details about the

opening will be announced at a later date and will be displayed at JAC

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

and improvise over itrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos always the same music recipe but I like to make it feel right and how I like itrdquo

Since the first meet of the season the Ear-ly Bird which the Panthers hosted Viken has struggled to get back to his recent success

Viken jumped his season-best at the Ear-ly Bird 17-feet and has declined since He vaulted 16-feet 725-inches at the following weeks John Craft Invite and then 15-feet 11-inches at last weekrsquos Indiana Relays

On the womenrsquos side red-shirt sophomore Jade Riebold remains nationally ranked en-tering this weekend as the No 25 pole vault-er in the country Riebold has already broken the Eastern record twice in her first year as a Panther

Second half run gives Eastern Kentucky victory

MIR ANDA PLOSS | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSMenrsquos basketball coach Mike Miller uses a timeout to go over a play with senior forward Zavier Sanders Thursday during the Panthersrsquo 47-43 loss to Eastern Kentucky in Lantz Arena The Panthers have lost seven straight taking a 9-13 record into their next game Saturday against Morehead State at 7 pm at home

KIMBERLY FOSTER | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSJunior forward Sydney Mitchell is fouled by Southeast Missouri senior guard Bian-ca Beck Wednesday during the Panthers 74-48 home win against the Redhawks in Lantz Arena The Panthers are 10-0 on the season at home with an overall 18-4 record

By Rob Mortell Staff Report

A critical 11-0 Eastern Kentucky run in a low scoring game with East-ernrsquos menrsquos basketball team was all the Colonels needed for a 47-43 victory over the Panthers on Thursday

Lantz Arena did not have much to cheer about except its team was in the lead at halftime 18-16 Although the game was not a fanrsquos dream or even a playerrsquos for that matter the teams battled in a close Ohio Valley Conference game

The Panthers went on a 10-4 run to open the second half and led 28-20 with 15 minutes left in the game The game would go back and forth for the next few minutes with East-ern maintaining control of the score-board

Down 33-27 Eastern Kentucky guard Mike DiNunno hit a jumper that catapulted the Colonels run Af-ter a three-point shot by guard Josh-ua Jones the guard cut to the bas-ket and converted on the gamersquos only lead change The run ended when an alley-oop pass was dunked by East-ernrsquos red-shirt junior forward James Hollowell The score was 38-35 and Eastern Kentucky never looked back

The Colonels slowed the pace of the game down with a deliberate of-fensive attack and the use of multiple zones on defense

Eastern Kentucky held a 44-37 lead with a minute remaining in the game and the Panthers did every-thing they could to come back but in the end the deficit was too large

Eastern lost its seventh consec-utive game 47-43 and falls to 9-13 overall and 2-8 in the OVC while Eastern Kentucky improves to 6-5 in conference play and 13-11

Losing streak extends to 7

As the Super Bowl nears students are gathering their snacks and friends together while rooting for their favor-ite teams

Chris Wojtysiak assistant director of Thomas Hall Dining said Thomas Dining Hall will host the Super Bowl party for the first time

He said it will be a good oppor-tunity to put on a student-friendly event

ldquoSince wersquore open wersquoll serve our Super Bowl menu as well as late-night pizzardquo Wojtysiak said ldquoWersquoll be able to have the entire game onrdquo

Wojtysiak said the menu will in-clude a build-your-own nacho bar hot dogs pizza slices chips and dip as well as the sandwich line being open

He said he expects a better turnout since it will be in Thomas instead of Taylor where the party had been held in previous years because students will be able to enjoy the entire game

Students can also enjoy the game by hosting their own gatherings

George Jones a sophomore geog-raphy major said before attending Eastern for him the Super Bowl was

more of a family tradition He said in years past he would in-

vite three or four friends over to watch the game with him and they would order pizza

He said he always felt like watch-ing the game felt like an American tra-dition

ldquoThe Super Bowl is always fun Itrsquos one of Americarsquos valuesrdquo Jones said ldquoEveryone in the world comes togeth-errdquo

Jones said this year he is watching the game at the Newman Center and favors the New York Giants to win

ldquoI love their style of play They like to get after the quarterback on de-fenserdquo Jones said ldquoIrsquom expecting a close gamerdquo

Brandal Miles a junior kinesiology major said last yearrsquos Super Bowl was especially important to him

ldquoIrsquom a Packers fan and everyone else didnrsquot want them to winrdquo Miles said

Miles said this yearrsquos game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham-pions

Before coming to Eastern Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri-

or to the game He said depending on who hosts the game each year would be different

ldquoWe would switch things up every yearrdquo Miles said

Miles said he and his family would cook things like nachos salads chick-en and Chinese food

Kevin Pranevicius a senior history major said he gets together with his friends and to him the Super Bowl is

a major deal He said he plans on watching the

pre-game coverage He added that the commercials every year are one of the factors that kept him watching the game

ldquoItrsquos always worth itrdquo Pranevicius said

Pranevicius said the right menu is crucial on Super Bowl Sunday

Overall Pranevicius said the Super

Bowl is always important to him ev-ery year

ldquoI make a big event out of itrdquo Pran-evicius said ldquoItrsquos a holiday and a big part of our livesrdquo

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

At 11 years old many young aspir-ing artists would not dream of having their work displayed publicly

However Olivia Standefer has al-ready obtained this goal by becoming the youngest artist to display work as Jackson Avenue Coffeersquos (JAC) featured artist of the month

Standefer of Marshall Ill will display 25 original paintings for the duration of the month of February

Though young Standefer said she is no stranger to the art world She has participated in at least a half-dozen group art showings including shows in Charleston and The Facto-ry Art Studios in Sullivan

Standefer said however this will be her first individual showcase in which she will be presenting what she calls ldquosplatter paintingsrdquo

She said she began painting sun-sets several years ago but as her fa-ther Jim Standefer suggests her passion for painting came much earlier

ldquoShe has always loved colorsrdquo he said

Taking only two introductory art lessons Standefer said that she real-ly developed her skills on her own

and was encouraged by a former tutor

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

opening of her workHe said further details about the

opening will be announced at a later date and will be displayed at JAC

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

As the Super Bowl nears students are gathering their snacks and friends together while rooting for their favor-ite teams

Chris Wojtysiak assistant director of Thomas Hall Dining said Thomas Dining Hall will host the Super Bowl party for the first time

He said it will be a good oppor-tunity to put on a student-friendly event

ldquoSince wersquore open wersquoll serve our Super Bowl menu as well as late-night pizzardquo Wojtysiak said ldquoWersquoll be able to have the entire game onrdquo

Wojtysiak said the menu will in-clude a build-your-own nacho bar hot dogs pizza slices chips and dip as well as the sandwich line being open

He said he expects a better turnout since it will be in Thomas instead of Taylor where the party had been held in previous years because students will be able to enjoy the entire game

Students can also enjoy the game by hosting their own gatherings

George Jones a sophomore geog-raphy major said before attending Eastern for him the Super Bowl was

more of a family tradition He said in years past he would in-

vite three or four friends over to watch the game with him and they would order pizza

He said he always felt like watch-ing the game felt like an American tra-dition

ldquoThe Super Bowl is always fun Itrsquos one of Americarsquos valuesrdquo Jones said ldquoEveryone in the world comes togeth-errdquo

Jones said this year he is watching the game at the Newman Center and favors the New York Giants to win

ldquoI love their style of play They like to get after the quarterback on de-fenserdquo Jones said ldquoIrsquom expecting a close gamerdquo

Brandal Miles a junior kinesiology major said last yearrsquos Super Bowl was especially important to him

ldquoIrsquom a Packers fan and everyone else didnrsquot want them to winrdquo Miles said

Miles said this yearrsquos game will not be as special to him because Green Bay is not in as the defending cham-pions

Before coming to Eastern Miles said he would get together with his family and friends and cook food pri-

or to the game He said depending on who hosts the game each year would be different

ldquoWe would switch things up every yearrdquo Miles said

Miles said he and his family would cook things like nachos salads chick-en and Chinese food

Kevin Pranevicius a senior history major said he gets together with his friends and to him the Super Bowl is

a major deal He said he plans on watching the

pre-game coverage He added that the commercials every year are one of the factors that kept him watching the game

ldquoItrsquos always worth itrdquo Pranevicius said

Pranevicius said the right menu is crucial on Super Bowl Sunday

Overall Pranevicius said the Super

Bowl is always important to him ev-ery year

ldquoI make a big event out of itrdquo Pran-evicius said ldquoItrsquos a holiday and a big part of our livesrdquo

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Superbowl XLVIGiants vs Patriots

530 pmWatch it on NBC

Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

With Super Bowl XLVI upon us there are many things to take away from this festive weekend of football frenzies Some are good and others not so much

The GoodOne of the good parts about Super

Bowl XLVI is that we wonrsquot be forced to listen to the awful monotone voice of Joe Buck You can breathe easy America You wonrsquot have to listen to Joe Buck do his signature snore-fest announcing during this yearrsquos game I can vividly remember the last New England Patriots vs New York Gi-ants Super Bowl match-up when Da-vid Tyree made perhaps the greatest catch in the history of Super Bowls and Buck narrated the spectacle as if he were giving his best Ben Stein im-pression So enjoy listening to Al Mi-chaels and Cris Collinsworth this year because Buck and his trusty pal Troy Aikman will be back in two years for Super Bowl XLVIII

Another good thing about Super Bowl weekend is that those who may not be as sports inclined can still enjoy one of the greatest pre-shows in televi-

sion history The Puppy Bowl Aired annually by the Animal Planet on the day as the Super Bowl the Pup-py Bowl puts the most adorable ani-mals on screen and lets them battle it out to see who can be the cutest and most cuddly

The Puppy Bowl is one of those things that you find yourself tuning into by accident but end up watching for hours Truly a great part of a spe-cial weekend

The BadThings arenrsquot all puppies and sun-

shine with the Super Bowl this year though For starters the Super Bowl is being held in one of the worst cit-ies in the country Indianapolis When you think Super Bowl you think par-ty When you think Indianapolis you think boring A boring city in an even more boring state Indiana An overall unimpressive city with an unimpres-sive skyline without any diversity cul-ture or nightlife

If you want to experience what ter-rible feels like move to Indianapolis or as I like to call it ldquoThe Nap Townrdquo or ldquoIndy-no-placerdquo The only thing Indianapolis had going for it was the Colts and if you watched any of the last football season you know how that turned out The Colts were final-ly exposed as a literal one-dimension team as Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines all season and sulked about

not being able to do the only thing he finds fun in a town where literal-ly nothing is fun Have fun with An-drew Luck next year Colts fans and enjoy another 2-14 season

The UglyI know what yoursquore thinking ldquoThis

canrsquot possibly get any worserdquo Believe me folks it can and will at halftime of the Super Bowl Your Super Bowl halftime show entertainment will be provided by none other than Madon-na

Just like when I think ldquoSuper Bowlrdquo I think ldquoIndianapolisrdquo when I think ldquofootballrdquo I think ldquoMadonnardquo There was more sarcasm in that last sentence than there are Uggs in Tom Bradyrsquos closet

The last thing the Super Bowl needs is another old hag trying to hang on to whatever last shred of fame she has left Statistics will show that this yearrsquos Super Bowl halftime show will have the most viewer bath-room breaks in history while those who did stick around to watch expe-rienced ear trauma and eye irritation

Madonna is a walking wardrobe malfunction and we can only pray there isnrsquot a Janet Jackson-esque ward-robe malfunction

It was love at first listenFrom the first time I had ever

heard Lana Del Rey I couldnrsquot get enough of her

Over Christmas break I spent hours listening to her single ldquoBorn to Dierdquo on loop for more than an hour and many hours after that

And as my iTunes play count of the song continued to rise so did my anticipation for her debut al-bum of the same name

But my sentiment hasnrsquot been completely echoed by the rest of the world in fact itrsquos slowly mov-ing towards the opposite

It completely fazes me but it canrsquot be ignored a lot of people just really hate Lana Del Rey

And why Well for most peo-ple itrsquos her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance

She sang singles ldquoVideo Gamesrdquo and ldquoBlue Jeansrdquo with such a pitchy dull voice and stiff unin-spired stage presence that it was almost painful no was painful to watch (I admittedly had to change the channel at one point)

As the increasingly negative buzz around her began to swirl the media and general public built Del Rey up to completely unrealis-tic expectations

But if everyone could set aside

their negative media-implemented misconstructions of Del Rey as a singer and focus on whatrsquos the true importance here her music itself

Have you listened to itItrsquos soulful Itrsquos heart wrench-

ing And itrsquos extremely catchy But more than anything clicheacute

aside it is an experience The way Del Rey sings makes

listeners completely forget where they are and sucks them in a sure-fire sign of a great album

With her transfixing voice and real-to-life lyrics she transports you to different places She takes you to the poppy dreamy world of New York where she deems her-self ldquoConey Island Queenrdquo

She reminds you of specific times and experiences ldquoNation-al Anthemrdquo which is undoubt-edly going to gain more traction during the summer months con-veys to the listener the sunny day of Fourth of July with lyrics like ldquored white blues in the sky sum-merrsquos in the air and baby heavenrsquos in your eyesrdquo

She reminds you of Ameri-can ideals with lyrics like ldquomon-ey is the anthemrdquo as well as dark personal struggles like ldquohe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heartrdquo

Of course the album isnrsquot com-pletely perfect Tracks ldquoLolitardquo and ldquoThis Is What Makes Us Girlsrdquo are undeveloped They can be-come repetitive with clunkier and less insightful lyrics than the oth-er tracks

But overall the album is solid One of the best tracks on the al-bum ldquoCarmenrdquo especially stands

outItrsquos incredibly dark not unex-

pected given Del Reyrsquos previous songs but done in a truly poi-gnant way

Del Rey sings the song so beau-tifully that the listener is sucked in and doesnrsquot even realize Del Reyrsquos allusions to a girl with alcohol de-pendency and fending for herself at the age of 17

Instead she draws listeners in and inspires them to overcome their own obstacles

Although she says life ldquois tir-ingrdquo she is able to counteract it because her ldquomindrsquos like a dia-mondrdquo

This is exactly the overall feel the album invokes in the listener and ultimately are guiding words for Del Rey herself

Continuously hearing about her mistakes her flaws from critics and the media proves to be tiring but Del Rey can still shine

Yes she was once the pouty-l ipped indie dar l ing only to quickly transform to be our great-est disappointment

But if everyone can instead stop condemning her as Americarsquos mu-sical outcast she can still turn the current situation around and ad-vance in the music world

This album is only a starting point and an impressionable one at that

Keep faith in Del Rey and shersquoll prove to everyone that shersquos more than one minor setback and will live on

Born to Die worth the listenDel Rey proves shersquos more than her SNL appearance

Faulty stars create incredible storyBy Ashley Holstrom Verge Columnist

John Greenrsquos latest book ldquoThe Fault in Our Starsrdquo is his best Donrsquot believe me You probably havenrsquot read it And you should probably go check out The New York Times Bestseller List or some more prestigious book re-viewers

The story is essentially about teen-agers with cancer Depressing right You probably donrsquot want to torture yourself with reading it because you know yoursquoll cry at least once Read it anyway

Itrsquos a beautiful story about the struggle to survive or simply deal with a terminal illness while still be-ing young wild and free

The narrator 16-year-old oxygen tank-carrying Hazel is dragged to a cancer support group every week by her parents who hope she will not be-come a ldquohomebodyrdquo and will instead embrace the short life she has She hates going until she meets the gor-geous amputee Augustus

Cue immediate friendship flirta-tion and young love

Note the narrator of this book is a teenage girl The author of this book is a 30-year-old man Keep this in mind when the adolescent relation-ship is discussed It adds a bit of hu-mor if yoursquore into that sort of thing

Anyway the adventure of their love and shortened lives is full of hilarity and uncertainty joy and agony

They stalk an author who wrote a book that speaks to their spirits They harass him thinking he holds the se-cret to life and death While the two have opposing views on the matter they both need to know what happens after death Not to the dead but to

the ones left behind These are the kinds of things these

characters think about Deep phil-osophical ideas that most teenagers donrsquot have to bother themselves with These characters know they are not invincible

Green is notorious for making his characters extravagantly intelligent spewing off profound statements like itrsquos their job In this novel it works Hazel and Augustus have come terri-fyingly close to death and deserve to be profound

Part of Augustusrsquos introduction at his first support group session is ldquoIrsquom on a roller coaster that only goes up my friendrdquo What kind of teenager says this without a second thought

Despite their cancerous wisdom theyrsquore still just teenagers They do stupid things they go on adventures they have fun Theyrsquore lovable and re-alistic characters

One review I read said the ratio of laughing to sobbing is about 1-to-1 which I think is a perfect way to de-scribe the book

I finished reading about 30 hours after I found the Amazon box propped against my door It was a struggle to have to put it down to sleep My immediate review of the book was simply ldquoI have no words ndashndash only infinite tearsrdquo

It took a while to process the nov-el and figure out how to portray it in a way that encourages people to read it Instead I spent a few weeks trying to get out of writing this review be-cause I feel like nothing I say can do the book any justice Just read it

At 11 years old many young aspir-ing artists would not dream of having their work displayed publicly

However Olivia Standefer has al-ready obtained this goal by becoming the youngest artist to display work as Jackson Avenue Coffeersquos (JAC) featured artist of the month

Standefer of Marshall Ill will display 25 original paintings for the duration of the month of February

Though young Standefer said she is no stranger to the art world She has participated in at least a half-dozen group art showings including shows in Charleston and The Facto-ry Art Studios in Sullivan

Standefer said however this will be her first individual showcase in which she will be presenting what she calls ldquosplatter paintingsrdquo

She said she began painting sun-sets several years ago but as her fa-ther Jim Standefer suggests her passion for painting came much earlier

ldquoShe has always loved colorsrdquo he said

Taking only two introductory art lessons Standefer said that she real-ly developed her skills on her own

and was encouraged by a former tutor

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

opening of her workHe said further details about the

opening will be announced at a later date and will be displayed at JAC

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

and improvise over itrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos always the same music recipe but I like to make it feel right and how I like itrdquo

Standefer said for her medium she uses a plywood canvas and or-dinary paint that can found at any Walmart or art supply store

Like most artists she said her work is often inspired by her emo-tional state

ldquoIf I experience something ex-citing I may use bright colors if it is something sad I may use darker colorsrdquo she said

Standefer said one of her influ-ences is artist Jackson Pollack

Recently Standefer said her work has been done on a much larger scale including a 4-by-7 foot painting that she has just finished

ldquoI had to put a roller on a broom-stick and use house paintrdquo she said

ldquoIt didnrsquot take much time but it was a lot of funrdquo

Standefer explained most of her work gets done at her grandparentrsquos house in Sullivan or at The Factory Art Studios

An old factory she explained offers a nice place to work on her art

Dan Reible owner of JAC ex-pressed his excitement for hosting the artwork

ldquoWe are really proud to have her work here on displayrdquo he said

Reible said in about a week after Standeferrsquos work goes on display JAC will be hosting an official showcase

For Mark Tyler being an artist is not restricted to one medium

Tyler a one-man band perform-ing at Macrsquos Uptowner on Saturday said he combines all of his talents including graphic artistry and mu-sical abilities to provide audiences with the best possible show

ldquoI just like to think of myself an all-around artist because I do all this visual stuff with the musicrdquo he said

Tyler said being able to blend his artistic abilities not only provides the audience with a better show but also gives him greater satisfaction in his performance

ldquoBeing able to combine all of my interests one of the coolest things for me to dordquo he said ldquoTo play my music and getting to see my lat-est graphics in the background get a pat on the back from them and get feedback and learn for the next time thatrsquos what I enjoyrdquo

Tyler who first began playing guitar more than 15 years ago said he has played at the Uptowner in the past

However because he lives in Peo-ria he does not get to frequent the vicinity as often

Tyler said when he does play at the Uptowner he always meets up with friends he has met through his performances there

ldquoI met all these people and all the locals pretty much have come back and hung outrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos the main reason I make the trip to come back I want to come back to

hang out with my friends and have a good timerdquo

Because he plays all of the mu-sical parts in his performances Ty-ler said performing can often be a fun challenge that creates an origi-nal show

ldquoI use a computer and build up songs through loops Ilsquoll start out playing guitar and singing come back and play piano and then add

these layersrdquo he said ldquoI have every-thing hooked up working through a workstation computer and therersquos a lot of time to get it right before you get out and play itrdquo

Tyler said he utilizes his own cre-ated visuals to add to his perfor-mance

ldquoA big part of my show is I have psychedelic video graphic back-groundsrdquo he said

Tyler said his performances en-compass all styles of music and he varies the genres as he performs

ldquoI start out doing ACDC and Led Zeppelinrdquo he said ldquoThen I do the Grateful Dead and jam band style I do blues rock and jam band toordquo

Tyler said although he may have key pieces in his repertoire he likes to make his shows sound different

each timeldquoI love to build up a big sound

and improvise over itrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos always the same music recipe but I like to make it feel right and how I like itrdquo
